I break down in the middle and lose my thread
No one can understand a word that I say
When I break down just a little and lose my head
Nothin' I try to do can work the same way

Any time it happens, I get over it
With a little help from all my friends
Anybody else could see what's wrong with me
But they walk away and just pretend
When I break down

I break down in the middle and lose my thread
No one can understand a word that I say
When I break down just a little and lose my head
Nothin' I try to do can work the same way

Where are all the friends who used to talk to me?
All they ever told me was good news
People that I've never seen are kind to me
Is it any wonder I'm confused?

When I break down, when I break down

(Freedom, freedom, we will not obey)
(Freedom, freedom, take the wall away)
Take the wall away
(Freedom, freedom, we will not obey)
(Freedom, freedom, take the wall away)
Where are all my friends?
I'm so confused
Take the wall away
Take the wall away
Won't somebody help me?
