Wasn't sure if I should've added the full verse for "The Breaks" since it would've been mildly obnoxious on a stub, so I trimmed it..
* ListSong: The verses of "The Breaks" lists off the various bad situations (i.e., "bad breaks") people can potentially go through:
---> ''If your woman steps out with another man\\
(That's the breaks, that's the breaks!)\\
And she runs off with him to Japan\\
(That's the breaks, that's the breaks!)\\
And the IRS says they want to chat\\
(That's the breaks, that's the breaks!)\\
And you can't explain why you claimed your cat\\
(That's the breaks, that's the breaks!)''
