C
Break it down again
Am
So those are my dreams
G
And these are my eyes
Stand tall like a man
C
Headstrong like a horse
Am
When it's all mixed up
A#
Better break it down
C
Oo, oo. Oo, oo
Am
In the world of secrets
A#
In the world of sound
C
Oo, oo

Chorus:
F                              G
It's in the way you're always hiding from the light
Am                                G 
See for yourself, you have been sitting on a time bomb
F                    G
No revolution maybe someone somewhere else
Am                             G 
Could show you something new about you and your inner song
F                              G
And all the love, and all the love in the world
Am
Won't stop the rain from falling
A#
Waste sleeping underground (break it down again)
I want to break it down (break it down again)

So those are my schemes
And these are my plans
Hot tips for the boys
Fresh news from the force
When it's all mixed up
Better break it down
In the world of silence
In the world of sound

Chorus:
"No sleep for dreaming" say the architects of life
Big bouncing babies, bread and butter - can I have a slice?
They make no mention of the beauty of decay
Blue, yellow, pink umbrella save it for a rainy day
And all the love and all the love in the world
Won't stop the rain from falling, waste seeping underground
Break it down again
I want to break it down
Break it down again

C
Oo, oo. Oo, oo
Horsing around
Dm
Pray to the power
Am
Play to the crowd with your big hit sound
A#
And they won't simmer, won't simmer,
won't simmer down
C
Play to the crowd
Dm
Play to the crowd

Chorus:
It's in the way you're always hiding from the light
Fast off to heaven just like Moses on a motorbike
No revolution, maybe someone somewhere else
Could show you something new to help you
With the ups and downs
Break it down again
I want to break it down
Break it down again
Break it down again
Break it down again
Break it down again
Here we go!

Break it down again
No more sleepy dreaming
No more building up
It is time to dissolve
Break it down it again
No more sleepy dreaming
