Breakaway Lyrics by The Primitives

Let’s Go Round Again • Second Wave Singles & Rarities 2011-2025

2012

Hey, hey, I've got a twenty-pound ball
Hanging by a chain around my neck
I've got to get away
Run before I become a wreck

I've got to break these chains
Before I go insane
I've got to get up and go
Go anyplace I don't know

I'm gonna break away
From all the chains that bind
And every day, I'll wear what I want
And I'll do what suits me fine

Hey, hey
I'm gonna break away
Break away from every day
Wagging tongues behind my back
Spreading lies that hold no fact

I'm gonna leave behind
All the twisted minds
And all who sneer at friends of mine
And frown at our good times

I'm gonna break away
From all the chains that bind
And every day, I'll wear what I want
And I'll do what suits me fine

Break away, break away
Break away from every day
