Hey

Some are gonna make it look easy, say moderation is the key

Moderation in the heart of excess, as long as you got, got the money

Some are gonna be just a cog in the machine



Some claim there's no cause higher than me

Some people, sweetheart, they're gonna play you for a fool

Gonna wait until you turn your back before they're cruel



Time, time, baby, to put it together, uh huh

Turn yourself back around

Give it right back, back to 'em, don't stop, honey

Don't let them break you down, down



Some are gonna be slaves to their appetite

Some are gonna get depressed for success

(Don't they look nice)

Some are gonna get lost in the fog of the past

Some are gonna emerge from themselves at last



Time, time, baby, to put it together, uh huh

Turn yourself back around

Give it right back, back to 'em, don't stop, honey

Don't let them break you down, down



Some are gonna wanna just bind you up and never let go

Some are gonna wanna structure the universe to fit their ego

Yeah, some are gonna come off chargin' like a bull

Some just wanna smear themselves across something beautiful



Time, time, baby, to put it together, uh huh

Turn yourself back around

Give it right back, back to 'em, don't stop, honey

Don't let them break you down, down



Time, baby, to put it together, uh huh

Turn yourself back around

Give it right back, back to 'em, don't stop, honey

Don't let them break you down, down



Now don't let them break you down, down

Now don't let them break you down, down

Now don't let them break you down, down



Some say there's no ground left to stand on

That we are movin' in the midst of an empty sea

Gotta jump ship in the middle of the ocean

Gotta jump ship lookin', find some new security
