Текст (слова) песни: Barenaked Ladies - Back

 
I woke up yesterday morning 
Fell down two flights of stairs 
Well I thought I was wide awake but my legs were still asleep. 
 
Nine-one-one ambulance help me 
But I can`t reach the phone 
So I scream to the neighbors "Come over break into my home" 
 
I broke my back 
There was nobody there to help me 
Broke my back 
All the lies and deception won`t change the perception that 
I fell flat on my ass 
 
I wish this had happened skydiving 
That my parachute failed 
But a pair of shoes tripped me down stairs and I lay there and wail 
 
Those things I used to take for granted 
Now I take sitting down 
I can`t brush my teeth, chew my nails, give the finger to a clown 
 
I broke my back 
And I can`t even change the channels 
Broke my back 
I fell flat on my ass 
 
Well they tell me that I shouldn`t get discouraged 
But they tell me that I`ll never walk again 
And they say I`m gonna need alot of courage 
And they say I`m gonna need alot of friends 
 
But what I really need is a pair of electric legs. 
So I wish some genius would just invent them. 
And if they cost too much I`d share with someone else. 
Or I would scour the Yellow Pages and I`d rent them. 
 
I know I can probably pop a wheely 
Entertaining the kids 
I can put hockey cards in the spokes I can even throw skids 
 
I get a good seat at a concert 
Even get stuff for free 
Is it cause I`m an excellent guy or cause they`re scared of me 
 
I broke my back 
And I can`t even use the clapper 
I broke my back 
All the lies and deception won`t change the perception that 
I fell flat on my ass
