Shane Mack - Break (Live At The Bitter End)

Shane Mack performing 'Break' from the movie "Shelter" live at the Bitter End in New York.

Shane Mack Break

Hey Prom Queen, What's your dream?
The color of another dirty magazine
Like a pinball under a glass bowl
They pay, they play but hey they never call

In high school, you were too cool to be any body's fool
And then you crashed and you burned, now relax and you'll learn
You're not the first and yet things can get worst
You'll lose and you'll win and then you'll lose again
You give and forgive and forget and for a second
Give in and twisted and baby you don't break

Hey big star with your tip jar
You had it made in your brother's bar
For so long playing the same songs
Different lover every night
But you were still alone

In high school, you were too cool to be any body's fool
And then you crashed and you burned, now relax and you'll learn
You're not the first and yet things can get worst
You'll lose and you'll win and then you'll lose again
You give and forgive and forget and for a second
Give in and twisted and baby you don't break

If you wanna make God laugh,
Tell him all the big plans that you have
Scream and shout and get all so mad
That won't change his mind

You got your Masters but no askers
You missed the bus and now you're late again
Was college worth the knowledge
You're waiting tables just like all your friends

In high school, you were too cool to be any body's fool
And then well you crashed and you burned, now relax and you'll learn
You're not the first and yet things can get worst
You'll lose and you'll win and then you'll lose again
You give and forgive and forget and for a second
Give in and twisted and baby you don't

You give and forgive and forget and for a second
Give in and twisted and baby you don't

You give and forgive and forget and for a second
Give in and twisted and baby you don't break

So did you transcribe the lyrics or did you find them somewhere? Cause I'm thinking a couple places are wrong...

Lovely song, great version!

[newdeepdan]

I transcribed it best I could.

I've just heard that song and I ask myself 'how cannot be such its wonderful message not be a sucess yet'. Wonderful.

Does anyone know where can I find it (song + lyrics) through the web?

Wow! What a great lyric--thanks for posting it, too. I wish that Shane Mack's songs were more readily available. It's hard to find them listen to other than by watching them on YouTube.
