"Breakdown (2024 Remaster)" lyrics - WHITESNAKE

Gettin' 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

[Refrain:]
But I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold
And 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
Couldn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run, ha

[Pre-Chorus:]
But I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold
Taking all your silver
Doing what I'm told

[Chorus:]
It's just a breakdown
A breakdown
A breakdown
A breakdown
Oh, look out

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
Couldn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run

[Pre-Chorus:]
But I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold
Taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told

[Chorus:]
It's just a breakdown

[Breakdown:]

[Breakdown:]
It's just a, a breakdown
Oh, look out, ha
But it'll come back and get you someday

[Guitar Solo: Moody]

Gettin' near the end, now I knew the time was right for a breakdown
A megaton surprise, but your eyes never made it a shakedown
I shot you full of rock 'n' roll, couldn't make your soul
Couldn't burn you to the bone
Do what the man says, take the money and run

[Pre-Chorus:]
But I never saw the splendour
In stealing all your gold
And taking all your silver
And doing what I'm told

[Chorus:]
It's just a breakdown

[Breakdown:]

[Breakdown:]

[Breakdown:]
Oh, look out
