Soul Asylum - The Break lyrics

Candy coated cannibalistic newsflashed 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 seams 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 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
