It seems we're headed for a total breakdown It keeps on getting harder to connect If this is not a war between the s**es Well then some kind of hex is in effect The ones we used to call the happy couple Have given up on romance altogether How that perfect one could come undone Looks like love's in for a run of nasty weather Lines are down, streets are redded Pipes cracked, apartments gutted The tough are gettin' goin', 'cause the goin's gettin' tough Everybody's breakin' up Verse:
It seems we've come upon some kind of impa**e An ending to this fractured fairy tale What once upon a time were little home sweet homes Are now just houses up for sale Streets ahush, a grim reminder No lovers laughter, no organ grinder He's out of work, the monkey run off with the cup Seems like everybody's breakin' up Seven year itch, or mid-life crisis We're comin' unhitched, goin' back to old vices The tough are gettin' goin' cause the goin's gettin' tough Everybody's breakin' up
