Back lyrics
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 alot of courage
And they say I m gonna need alot 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 to 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
