This is where we break it down

Artist- Flight of the Conchords
Song of the day- Think about it

Maybe it's the three hour power struggle debates in theory class, or spending days deconstructing some serious mental diseases, the drug deals and the homeless outside my back door, the endless civil wars fought by children I choose to read about so I can feel "informed about the world", the daily heartache I hear from people I love, or my own personal demons aiding to my newest lack of sleep and over thinkingness. I think these two of my favorite musicians some up my feelings and make me think.
....and then laugh smile again.



Children on the streets using guns and knives

Taking drugs and each other's lives

Killing each other using knives and forks

And calling each other names like dork



There's people on the street getting diseases from monkeys

Yeah that's what I said their getting diseases from monkeys

Whys this happening please whose been touching these monkeys

Leave these poor sick monkeys alone

There sick they've got problems enough as it is



A man is lying on the street some punk has chopped off his head

And I'm the only one who stops to see if he's dead aaoohhh

Turns out he's dead



That's why I'm singing Aaaaoooh what is wrong with the world today?

What's wrong with the world today *mumbles* never said nothings wrong with it

Uooo what is wrong with the world today?

Think about it think about it think think about it



Good cops get framed and put into a can

And all the money that we're making is going to the maaan



What man whose the man when's a man a man why's it so hard to be a man

Am I a man? Yes technically yes...



Oohh come on sont zootka they're turning kids into slaves

They're turning kids into slaves just to make cheaper sneakers

But what's the real cost '€~cause the sneakers don't seem that much cheaper

Why are we still paying so much for sneakers when you got little kid slaves making them

What are your overheads?



Well at the end of your life you are lucky if you die

Sometimes I wonder why I would even try

Why try

I saw a man lying on the street half dead

He had knives and forks sticking out of his leg

He said Ahh ahh ahh ahhhhhhhhwww

Can somebody get the knife and fork out of my leg please

Ooh could somebody please remove these cutleries from my knees

Yeah yeeeahhh

This is where we break it down

This is where we break it down

We'll break it down

What are they doing their breaking it down

What do they do and now their keeping it funky

Just having a funky jam and then we're going to drop the beat

And then we'll bring it back *wails* Up

Wah wah wah waaah!



*Both go to town with the wailing*



Then we'll take it low

Fading out fading out

We're talking about the issues but we're keeping it funky

We're fading out we're just fading out

Why they getting quiet they're just fading out
