Guardian Album: Bottle Rocket Track: Break Me Down
Break Me Down Lyrics
Words and music by Tony Palacios
Bought me a bargain basement laboratory With a rack and a humpback elf Then I sewed together all the glory I'd collected To immortalize my good self Thought I'd build me a better Frankenstein But the monster turned on me No slobbering torchlit pitchfork mob Could ever kill this vanity
Lord, you made every part of me I'm ready Break me down Won't you break me down
Made me a really monumental monument I set each shiny brick And I grew so high a jet flew by And the fumes sort of made me sick If my Father shaped the universe Then why do I still insist On playing God when I'm a fraud I'm a certified narcissist
You fashioned every part of me I'm ready Break me down Break me down Do what you do to me I know you see through me Break me down
