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
