Breakin' Loose

(álbum: Special Forces - 1982)

It was the typical blues, it was more bad news
I was walking down a dirty street
Saw a man, I knew some years before
On the corner where the losers meet
He had rags on his back, as a matter of fact
Had a cold look on his face
He was standing in line, groaning words to the kind
As I passed I could hear him say, he said......

Don't live your life by the dollar sign
Live life to the limit, that's the bottom line
No guarantees what tomorrow will bring
Be the best at what you are, it's all a little insane>

Breaking loose, breaking the chain
You never know what the future will bring
Breaking loose, breaking the spell
I tried a part, now I'm playing it well

Professional man, had the world in his hands
He arrived in the finest cars
He posted up his lifetime success
Every night at his favorite bar
He got off the track, he never looked back
He's an upper class renegade
Now he ain't got a dime, just his peace of mind
And he knows that he's got it made

Breaking loose, breaking the chain
You never know what the future will bring
Breaking loose, breaking the spell
I tried a part, now I'm playing it well
Breaking loose, emotional bruise
That's enough, It's time to go through
Breaking loose, cut the line
It don't matter what your money can buy

Breaking loose, breaking the chain
You never know what the future will bring
Breaking loose, breaking the spell
I tried a part, now I'm playing it well
Breaking loose, emotional bruise
The house on the hill, in a financial noose
Breaking loose, cut the line
It don't matter what your money can buy
