Whitesnake - Breakdown lyrics

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 it's just a 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
