 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I woke up yesterday morning
Fell down two flights of stairs
Well I thought I was wide awake but my legs were still asleep.
Nine-one-one ambulance help me

But I can't reach the phone
So I scream to the neighbors "Come over break into my home"
I broke my back
There was nobody there to help me
Broke my back

All the lies and deception won't change the perception that
I fell flat on my ass
I wish this had happened skydiving
That my parachute failed

But a pair of shoes tripped me down stairs and I lay there and wail
Those things I used to take for granted
Now I take sitting down
I can't brush my teeth, chew my nails, give the finger to a clown

I broke my back
And I can't even change the channels
Broke my back
I fell flat on my ass

Well they tell me that I shouldn't get discouraged
But they tell me that I'll never walk again
And they say I'm gonna need a lot of courage
And they say I'm gonna need a lot of friends

But what I really need is a pair of electric legs.
So I wish some genius would just invent them.
And if they cost too much I'd share with someone else.
Or I would scour the Yellow Pages and I'd rent them.

I know I can probably pop a wheely
Entertaining the kids
I can put hockey cards in the spokes I can even throw skids
I get a good seat at a concert

Even get stuff for free
Is it cause I'm an excellent guy or cause they're scared of me
I broke my back
And I can't even use the clapper

I broke my back
All the lies and deception won't change the perception that
I fell flat on my ass
