"I walked the white line and I did the shoeshines
And I break it down so you can go down.
And ran the rat-race and I made the front page
And I break it down so you can go down now.
Go down now.
Yeah, yeah.
I bet you'd beg if you were serious.
So break on down, break on down now.
I bet you'd beg if you were serious so break on down,
Break on down now, break on down now.
I made the big break and I made my own mistakes,
And I break it down so you can go down.
You wash away me, and never tried to save me
And I break it down so you can go down now, go down now yeah, yeah.
I bet you'd beg if you were serious.
So break on down, break on down now.
I bet you'd beg if you were serious so break on down,
Break on down now, break on down now.
For every time you punished me, for every time you laughed at me,
For every time you beat me down.

So break on down, break on down now.
