Intro

Candy coated cannibalistic news flashed across the screen

 Stay tuned we'll define what's wrong and what's right

 What's obscure and what's obscene

 And the fat cat laughs as you lose your last chance

 As his pants split right down the seam

 But if I ever get my break for God's sake

I'm gonna make my break clean

 Yes I may be a dirty old man by the time I can beat down this dirty old scene

 But if I ever get my break

 I'm gonna make my break clean

I've got bars on my windows and lines on my face

 I can't compete in this race

I don't like it when she's on the street at night

 She can barely go anyplace

 And everybody wants control of her body,

 and I'm hoping the choice might be me

 If I ever get my break for God's sake,

I'm gonna make my break clean

If you ever give me a break

I'm gonna make my break clean

Solo

2x

Shake me I've painted myself in the corner of an escape artist's dream

 And you know I believe it cause I just can't leave it

I don't really know what it means

I may be buried alive or just left in the dirt

I'm fading as fast as my jeans

If I ever get my break for God's sake

I'm gonna make my break clean
