It seems we're headed for a total breakdown 
It keeps on getting harder to connect 
If this is not a war between the sexes 
Well then some kind of hex is in effect 

The ones we used to call the happy couple 
Have given up on romance altogether 
How that perfect one could come undone 
Looks like love's in for a run of nasty weather 

Lines are down, streets are redded 
Pipes cracked, apartments gutted 
The tough are gettin' goin', 'cause the goin's gettin' tough 
Everybody's breakin' up 

Verse: 
It seems we've come upon some kind of impasse 
An ending to this fractured fairy tale 
What once upon a time were little home sweet homes 
Are now just houses up for sale 

Streets ahush, a grim reminder 
No lovers laughter, no organ grinder 
He's out of work, the monkey run off with the cup 
Seems like everybody's breakin' up 

Seven year itch, or mid-life crisis 
We're comin' unhitched, goin' back to old vices 

The tough are gettin' goin' cause the goin's gettin' tough 
Everybody's breakin' up
