And when you take 'em down you're gone.
And when you've taken down your guard.
And when you take a dump on God
If I could change your mind I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to break your heart
And when you've taken down your guard
If I could change your mind I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to break your heart
And when you take a dump you got
And when you’ve taken down your guard
And when you take a dump, you cry.
And when you've taken down your guard.
And when you take a dump, you die
And when you've taken down your guard
And when you take and doubt your God.
And when you've taken down your guard.
And when you take the doubt you've got
And when you've taken down your guard
Day gave new life
They gave you life.
Don't forget to stay well
or
Don't forget to say when
or
Don't forget to sail away
Don't forget to say you will
I call that advice
As cold as ice
I'd really love to break apart
I'd really love to break your heart
I'd really love to break your arm
I'd really love to break your heart

Now wait for me

Now way up there...
Now wait a minute...
On Valentine's, you shouldn't have to sell your soul.
In violent times, you shouldn't have to sell your soul

That took you for the world and more
That took you for a working boy
They gave you life
And in return, you gave them help.
They gave you life
And in return, you gave them hell.
They gave you light.
And in return, you gave them hell.
They gave you life.
And in return, you gave them hell.
They took you for a working ball.
They took you for a working boy.
They took you for a working whore.
They took you for a working boy.
They took you for a world and more
...that took you for a woorking boy
They took you for a wrecking ball.
They took you for a working boy.
They took you from a world come born
They took you for a working boy
They took you from the world you know.
They took you for a working boy.
Those one track minds, they took you for a world come born
Those one track minds that took you for a working boy

Let it all out!
You know it's f***in' nasty
