Something's Gotta Give

Looking deep inside myself

In a lonely two-man cell

I sigh for my mother

The others who cried out for help

Oh well

Something's gotta give

But I know you're gonna take from me

I remember VCRs

When lies were hard to prove

Now we've got screens and TV's in our jeans

Those lies never meant less to you

Something's gotta give

But I know you're gonna take from me

I've harmonized with angels

I've danced with devils too

Not one to blame, just begging for change

I know that it better come soon, oh

Something's gotta give

But I know you're gonna take from me

Break, break, break, break me down

I'm losing hold on what I've found on silent roads

Oh, something's gotta give

So do just what you're told

Hustlers born before thirteen

A whisper in the night

Making their way through handcuffs and pray

The tube says they're doing alright

Something's gotta give

But I know you're gonna take from me

Oh so, love, why'd you linger inside of my sheets

When the feeling of waking up takes you from me

I can't hold you close this way, I used to believe

Father, roll me down my grave, I need some relief

Break, break, break, break me down

I'm losing hold on what I've found on silent roads

Oh, something's gotta give

So do just what you're told

Break me down

I'm losing hold on what I've found

'Cause something, oh

Oh, something's gotta give

So do just what you're told
