Come Break Me Down

your suit is the finest
your hair is in line
your fingers are filed
you are looking fine

please sign the order
our methods are clean
please sign the order
life is a dream

come break me down
come one and all
come break me down
after the fall
what will become of you
at the end of the fight
the knives of the mind
still cut in the night

my life is sacred
my world is light
i am no different
from all in my sight

yes, i would fight you
yes, i'm opposed
the rules are forgotten
and god only knows

if you wanted lies
if you wanted pain
you have delivered them
like blood in the rain

come break me down
come one and all
come break me down
after the fall
what will become of you
at the end of the fight
the knives of the mind
still cut in the night

the office is closing
no lights in the hall
yet there are footsteps
they come for us all

hide in the courthouse
and swear on the bible
it's the work of the devil
and you are not libel

turn to the jury
turn to the crowd
tell them your story
death be not proud

come break me down
come one and all
come break me down
after the fall
what will become of you
at the end of the fight
the knives of the mind
still cut in the night

at the end of the nation
at the end of the trail
stand and deliver us
our body so frail

if you wanted lies
if you wanted pain
you have delivered them
like blood in the rain
