(Lyrics: Daryl Hall, John Oates; Music: Daryl Hall)


Make an amendment to the constitution

To preserve the state of our union

I stop believing what you say to me

There's a tragic gap in credibility


When the light is gone from your eyes

And re-entry may be denied

Do I want to expatriate

Or live in the united state


Inflationary insecurity

'Cause a love ain't worth as much as it used to be

Clean break, running away

Should I work it out some way

Watch the tress in the wind when it's starting to blow

Is the reason to leave, is it treason to go

Just appeasing you is the wrong thing, I know

Break away!
