I walked the white line
I did the shoeshines
I break you down so you can go down

I ran the rat race
I made the front page
I break you down so you can go down now
So you can go down now, so you can go down now

I bet you'd beg if you were serious
So break on down
Break on down now

I made the big break
And I made my own mistakes
I break it down so you can go down

You wash away me
But you don't try to save me
I break you down so you can go down now
So you can go down now
So you can go down now

I bet you'd beg if you were serious
So break on down
Break on down now

Beggin' you beggin' me
