Текст песни The Breakdown

How could things be so easy some days And so hard in times when I could use Some help coming by my way I just don't know why you won't take me for myself You say that I should be somebody Don't you think that I'd be funny In a suit and tie, ol' mister nine-to-five I just don't know why you won't take me for myself I've been racking my brain Trying to find a way to make ends meet I've been making two bridges Write you songs that you can sing There ain't anybody else that I could be Say, how long will it be now How long will it be now How long will it be now How long will it take to make him see my side I ain't no nine to five I just don't know why you won't take me for myself If you could only own a mountain made of solid gold What difference would it make You'd just have more to break And I don't know why you won't take me for myself I just don't know why you won't take me for myself I just don't know why you won't take me for myself I just don't know why you won't take me for myself
