Hey   Some are gonna make it look easy, say moderation is the key   Moderation in the heart of excess, as long as you got, got the money   Some are gonna be just a cog in the machine      Some claim there's no cause higher than me   Some people, sweetheart, they're gonna play you for a fool   Gonna wait until you turn your back before they're cruel      Time, time, baby, to put it together, uh huh   Turn yourself back around   Give it right back, back to 'em, don't stop, honey   Don't let them break you down, down      Some are gonna be slaves to their appetite   Some are gonna get depressed for success   (Don't they look nice)   Some are gonna get lost in the fog of the past   Some are gonna emerge from themselves at last      Time, time, baby, to put it together, uh huh   Turn yourself back around   Give it right back, back to 'em, don't stop, honey   Don't let them break you down, down      Some are gonna wanna just bind you up and never let go   Some are gonna wanna structure the universe to fit their ego   Yeah, some are gonna come off chargin' like a bull   Some just wanna smear themselves across something beautiful      Time, time, baby, to put it together, uh huh   Turn yourself back around   Give it right back, back to 'em, don't stop, honey   Don't let them break you down, down      Time, baby, to put it together, uh huh   Turn yourself back around   Give it right back, back to 'em, don't stop, honey   Don't let them break you down, down      Now don't let them break you down, down   Now don't let them break you down, down   Now don't let them break you down, down      Some say there's no ground left to stand on   That we are movin' in the midst of an empty sea   Gotta jump ship in the middle of the ocean   Gotta jump ship lookin', find some new security
