Billy Idol - Can’t Break Me Down lyrics

rate me

The devil’s house in the shape of a chapel

You hit the knife in the core of an apple

Burning, tryin’ to hurt me

Tryin’ to hit me when my back was turning

I saw you waiting where the shadows were growing

You talkin’ straight but your colors are showing

Burning, tryin’ to hit me

Tryin’ to get me when my head was turning

You want to rain on my survival story

You’re crazy baby ‘cause I’ve never had a doubt

I’m singin’ songs about love and glory

You’re going

Bang bang bang

You shot me to the ground

But you can’t break me down

Bang bang bang

You tried to knock me out

No, you can’t break me down

It’s just my natural reaction

When I hit the floor

I’m the original assassin

I come up for more

You put me up

So you can watch me crumble

I always knew you were some kind of trouble

Lurking, you can’t hurt me

‘cause I see just how your evil’s working

A silver tongue with the best of intentions

But you’re a child with the cruelest inventions

Burning, you’re just hurtin’

I know somewhere deep in hell you’re workin’

You want to rain on my survival story

You’re crazy baby ‘cause I never had a doubt

I’m singing songs about love and glory

Your gun went

Bang bang bang

You shot me to the ground

But you can’t bring me down

Bang bang bang

You try to knock me out

No, you can’t break me down

It’s just my natural reaction

When I hit the floor

I’m the original assassin

I come up for more

You don’t know what you started

You hit but missed the target

You don’t know what you started

You hit but missed the target

You don’t know what you started

You hit but missed the target

You don’t know what you started

You hit but missed the target

Bang bang bang

You shot me to the ground

But you can’t break me down

Bang bang bang

You tried to knock me out

No, you can’t break me down

It’s just my natural reaction

When I hit the floor

I’m the original assassin

I come up for more
