You all are waiting for the break down break down
I think we gonna see you soon
Another day of sadness, break down break down
The flames are burning on the Earth

if the Gods are playing with you, but I'm not fool
BREAK DOWN, BREAK DOWN

AND FUCK 'EM ALL !!!
BREAK DOWN, BREAK DOWN
BAD BOYS OUT OF CONTROL (Ooo Uoo)
WE GONNA BREAK YOU

Scars on my skin are saying:
''Break down, break down'' !!! ''
Kids got no future in their eyes
and you... tell me what I gotta do...,
when my son cries in his room, but I'm not fool...
BREAK DOWN, BREAK DOWN

The song "Break Down" by S.E.X Department is a bold and unapologetic anthem of rebellion against authority. The lyrics are a direct challenge to anyone who thinks they can control or manipulate the band members, especially in terms of their behavior or appearance. The opening lines, "Yeah, you think you can tell us what to do? You think you can tell us what to wear?" make it clear that the band members are not interested in conforming to anyone's expectations.
The song also has a strong sense of camaraderie and solidarity, as evidenced by the chorus, "D Generation X! D Generation!" This is a reference to the professional wrestling stable of the same name, which was known for its rebellious attitude and anti-establishment ethos. By aligning themselves with this group, S.E.X Department is suggesting that they too are outsiders who reject mainstream society.
Overall, "Break Down" is a high-energy track that embraces the punk rock ethos of nonconformity and individualism. Its lyrics are a defiant statement of independence, and its catchy chorus is sure to get fans shouting along.
