Song Notes
This demo captures the full version of 'Everyone's Breaking Down', which was later shortened and transformed into the fifth suite grand finale of 'Homecoming' on American Idiot.
Lyrics
"I read London as a kid um because I, even though, you know
It was pretty chaotic in my head and I'm very hyper
I still am hyperactive, but..."
Hear the sound of the pounding street
Like a sentimental murmur in a heartbeat
A palpitation on the edge of town
Echoes through the streets
On the pavement and kick the drum
Sound the alarm to ease attention
Heart of the city is breaking down
Underneath my feet
My head is spinning 'round and 'round out of control again
I'm not the only one who fears falling down
There's a shadow hanging over this fucking town
Everyone's breaking down
Breaking
Through the subways and the underground
Gotta keep my feet on the ground now
Pick up the pace and don't be late
Hurry up and wait
Run for cover and hit the lights
Everybody's running for their lifetime
Time is money and the rent is high
When there's hell to pay
My head is spinning 'round and 'round out of control again
I'm not the only one who fears falling down
There's a shadow hanging over this fucking town
Everyone's breaking
(Oh, oh!)
Hear the sound of the pounding street
Like a sentimental murmur in a heartbeat
A palpitation on the edge of town
Echoes through the streets
Run for cover and hit the lights
Everybody's running for their lifetime
Time is money and the rent is high
When there's hell to pay
My head is spinning round and round out of control again
I'm not the only one who fears falling down
(Three, four!)
Breaking down
Breaking down
Breaking down
Breaking down
Breaking down (Hear the sound of the pounding)
Breaking down (All of the city is breaking)
Breaking down (Hear the sound of the pounding)
Breaking down (All of the city is breaking)
Breaking
