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
