Intro

0:00 - 0:08

Verse

0:09 - 0:32

 I get you ready for the breakdown

I'm the feeling inside you that just wants to explode

 I never sugarcoat a shakedown

 So empty all your pockets of the things that you think you know

 You can bow to the prophet

You can make him an offer

 But you're gonna reap what you sow

 I get you ready for the breakdown

 I'm the feeling inside you

 You know you will never control

Chorus

0:33 - 0:43

Do you know what you're runnin' on?

Do you know what you're runnin' on?

Do you know what you're runnin' on?

Verse

0:44 - 1:09

 I know the sound that drags you downtown

Drags you from your job and the hardwired boredom of house

 I see you changing from the neck down

 Do you walk it like you talk it?

 Or say it just to hear it out loud?

 You can drag it for miles

You can make it your style

 Never do you much good in the ground

 I get you ready for the breakdown

 I'm the something inside you that makes

 You want to slither and howl

Chorus

1:10 - 1:21

Do you know what you're runnin' on?

Do you know what you're runnin' on?

Do you know what you're runnin' on?

Break

1:22 - 1:51

A (stay on the A-chord for several bars)

One good love so don't let it breakdown

Something in there that never should shutdown

Your precious will

Feed your precious will

Guard your precious will

Your precious will

Verse

1:52 - 2:15

 I get you ready for the breakdown

 The finest minds of my generation

 All connected to the zeroes and ones

 By now you know this is a shakedown

 So empty all your pockets

 Of the things you thought you had done

 I bowed to the prophet

And I did it so often

 He said, "man, you look good in my clothes.."

 I get you ready for the breakdown

 I'm the feeling inside you

 It just wants to explode

Chorus

2:16 - end

Do you know what you're runnin' on?

Do you know what you're runnin' on?

Do you know what you're runnin' on?

 Answer: Your Precious Will
