Breakdown lyrics

Artist  : Whitesnake 
Song : Breakdown
 
BREAKDOWN Getting near the end, now I knew the
time was right for a breakdown. Megaton surprise
but your eyes never made it a shakedown. Shot you
full of rock'n roll, couldn't make your soul,
didn't burn you to the bone. Do what the man
says, take the money and run. But I never saw the
splendour in stealing all your gold, taking all
your silver and doing what I'm told. I never saw
the tears but I knew you cried for
rhythm'n'blues. Screaming like a wildcat I knew
that I had nothing to lose. Shot you full of
rock'n roll, couldn't make your soul, didn't burn
you to the bone. Do what the man says, take the
money and run. But I never saw the splendour in
stealing all your gold, taking all your silver
and doing what I'm told.       It's just a
breakdown,       breakdown,       breakdown,     
 breakdown. Shaking like a leaf in the wind see me
blowing away. Never see me fall on the ground till
I've had my say. Shot you full of rock'n roll,
couldn't make your soul, didn't burn you to the
bone. Do what the man says, take the money and
run. But I never saw the splendour in stealing
all your gold, taking all your silver and doing
what I'm told.       It's just a breakdown,      
breakdown,       breakdown,       breakdown.
Getting near the end, now I knew the time was
right for a breakdown. Megaton surprise but your
eyes never made it a shakedown. Shot you full of
rock'n'roll, couldn't make your soul, didn't burn
you to the bone. Do what the man says, take the
money and run. But I never saw the splendour in
stealing all your gold, taking all your silver
and doing what I'm told.       It's just a
breakdown,       breakdown,       breakdown,     
 breakdown.            - David Coverdale & Micky
