Back

I woke up yesterday morning<br>Fell down two flights of stairs<br>Well I thought I was wide awake but my legs were still asleep.<br><br>Nine-one-one ambulance help me<br>But I can`t reach the phone<br>So I scream to the neighbors "Come over break into my home"<br><br>I broke my back<br>There was nobody there to help me<br>Broke my back<br>All the lies and deception won`t change the perception that<br>I fell flat on my ass<br><br>I wish this had happened skydiving<br>That my parachute failed<br>But a pair of shoes tripped me down stairs and I lay there and wail<br><br>Those things I used to take for granted<br>Now I take sitting down<br>I can`t brush my teeth, chew my nails, give the finger to a clown<br><br>I broke my back<br>And I can`t even change the channels<br>Broke my back<br>I fell flat on my ass<br><br>Well they tell me that I shouldn`t get discouraged<br>But they tell me that I`ll never walk again<br>And they say I`m gonna need alot of courage<br>And they say I`m gonna need alot of friends<br><br>But what I really need is a pair of electric legs.<br>So I wish some genius would just invent them.<br>And if they cost too much I`d share with someone else.<br>Or I would scour the Yellow Pages and I`d rent them.<br><br>I know I can probably pop a wheely<br>Entertaining the kids<br>I can put hockey cards in the spokes I can even throw skids<br><br>I get a good seat at a concert<br>Even get stuff for free<br>Is it cause I`m an excellent guy or cause they`re scared of me<br><br>I broke my back<br>And I can`t even use the clapper<br>I broke my back<br>All the lies and deception won`t change the perception that<br>I fell flat on my ass
