Lyrics

By richard starkey, mark hudson, dean grakal and steve dudas

We've been friends for such a long time
My head has a mind of its own
I don't wanna wait in no line
All I wanna do is go home
Something's goin' on inside me
I won't let it tear me apart

You got to breakdown to breakthrough
Growing up took someone like you
Forget about the things in your head
It's time to put the puppet to bed

Don't tell me rome was built in a day, (no way)
You got to leave before you arrive
If you're willing to give it away, (okay)
It's the only way to survive
Never up is never in
You got to lose before you can win

You got to breakdown to breakthrough
Growing up took someone like you
Forget about the things in your head
It's time to put the puppet to bed, yeah-ah!

Do yourself a favour
You got to love your neighbour
Even when the chips are down

Cut the strings and let me go
Now this is a one man show

You got to breakdown to breakthrough
Growing up took someone like you
Forget about the things in your head
It's time to put the puppet to bed

You got to breakdown to breakthrough
Growing up took someone like you
Forget about the things in your head
It's time to put the puppet to bed

Alright! alright! alright!
