I was always told that you had to have the balls to breakdown   Now I'm older, I'm not too sure   I was once told that you had to have a high to lowdown   An expert told me back in the war      Broken hearted surgery never works   So eat your words or hide them in the dirt      Raise up the anchor baby, why do we have to get weighed down?   Raise up the anchor baby, why do we have to get weighed down?      I was always told that you had to have the balls to breakdown   Now I'm older, I'm not too sure   I was once told that you had to have a high to lowdown   An expert told me back in the war      Broken hearted surgery never works   So eat your words or hide them in the dirt      Raise up the anchor baby, why do we have to get weighed down?   Weighed down   Raise up the anchor baby, why do we have to get weighed down?      'Cause I don't need nobody to know me   I don't want nobody to know   I don't see nobody to show me
