I have been around for awhile
Following the bouncing ball
I have seen the offers
Hanging in the air like flies
You can have it all

And then I see it
Then I see my life
Like a dog hanging
fifty feet above the ground
And I feel it
With the pain this time
And I know now
to find a place to turn around

But someone's got to break these problems down
someone's got to break these problems down

I have seen the first design
And I have been the last to go
I have seen the others
Standing in the feeding lines
When it's all they know

And then I see it
Then I see my life
Like a dog hanging
fifty feet above the ground
And I feel it
With the pain this time
And I know now
to find a place to turn around

But someone's got to break these problems down
someone's got to break these problems down
someone's got to break these problems down
down
down
down
