Permanent Damage - The Icicle Works

Fall in love with a sweet young thing

Big brown eyes, she had everything

Well she broke my heart

But she did me no permanent damage

Had a friend who was sinkin' low

Takin' all kinds o' things just to get him goin'

Watched him fall apart

But it did me no permanent damage…

Such a crazy world in which we live now

Y' gotta understand you don’t receive

But you always have to give now

If I could I’d turn it 'round

So the little man gets to see the big man pay

Got a feelin' it won’t be too long

Till we’re singin' a different song

They’re tryna grind us down but they’re

Doin' no permanent damage
