Biography:
Soul Asylum is an American alternative rock band formed in the summer of 1981 by Minneapolis high school friends Dan Murphy, Karl Mueller, and Dave Pirner. The band (named Loud Fast Rules up until 1984) quickly became frontrunners of American college rock, following in the tradition of fellow Minnesota bands Hüsker Dü and The Replacements.
Landing their first record deal with Twin/Tone in 1984, Soul Asylum recorded a total of four albums for the local label: Say What You Will.

Intro: A D
G C G C G D
Candy coated cannibalistic news flashed across the screen
G C G
Stay tuned we'll define what's wrong and what's right
C G D
What's obscure and what's obscene
C D
And the fat cat laughs as you lose your last chance
G C
As his pants split right down the seam
G D
But if I ever get my break for God's sake
C G
I'm gonna make my break clean
C D G C
Yes I may be a dirty old man by the time I can beat down this dirty old scene
G D
But if I ever get my break
C G
I'm gonna make my break clean
A D
G C G
I've got bars on my windows and lines on my face
C G D
I can't compete in this race
G C G
I don't like it when she's on the street at night
C G D
She can barely go anyplace
C D
And everybody wants control of her body,
G C
and I'm hoping the choice might be me
G D
If I ever get my break for God's sake,
C G
I'm gonna make my break clean
G D
If you ever give me a break
C G
I'm gonna make my break clean
Solo:
A D A 2x
C D A 2x
C D G C
Shake me I've painted myself in the corner of an escape artist's dream
D
And you know I believe it cause I just can't leave it
G C
I don't really know what it means
C D
I may be buried alive or just left in the dirt
G C
I'm fading as fast as my jeans
G D
If I ever get my break for God's sake
C G
I'm gonna make my break clean
Outro: A D G
