Newsboys - Breakfast Lyrics






Hold the milk, put back the sugar
They are powerless to console
We've gathered here to sprinkle ashes
From our late friend's cereal bowl.
Breakfast Clubbers, say the motto
That he taught us to repeat:
"You will lose it in your gym class
If you wait 'til noon to eat."

Back when the Chess Club said our eggs were soft
Every Monday he'd say grace and hold our juice aloft
Oh, none of us knew his checkout time would come so soon
But before his brain stopped waving, he composed this tune:

[Chorus]
WHEN THE TOAST IS BURNED
AND ALL THE MILK HAS TURNED
AND CAPTAIN CRUNCH IS WAVING FAREWELL
WHEN THE BIG ONE FINDS YOU
MAY THIS SONG REMIND YOU
THAT THEY DON'T SERVE BREAKFAST IN HELL

Breakfast clubbers, drop the hankies.
Though to some our friend was odd,
That day he bought those pine pajamas
His check was good with God.

Those here without the Lord,
How do you cope?
For this morning we don't mourn
Like those who have no hope

Oh, rise up, Fruit Loop lovers -
Sing out sweet & low
With spoons held high
We bid our brother, "Cheerio!"

[Chorus]

  17. W.... G....

    Why do I feel 19 again? Before my church youth group betrayed me turn their back on me and pretty much made me abandon the church in general. This does bring back fond memories though.

  18. D.... T....

    A flippin bop

    This reminds me of Jesus saying "Peter, come have some breakfast!" While Peter was fishing.

  20. A.... ....

    Ladies and gentlemen, the epitome of classic music

    All the milk has turned (as in soured) not churned.

    Looked up the meaning on "Songmeanings.com". No meaning. Just stupid cunts talking about not believing in good but still liking Christian music. Who the fuck cares? Good music is good music, get over yourself you piss pour vomit stain of a human being.

  26. K.... D....

    But what about second breakfast?

  27. N.... F....

    People without the Lord cope just fine.

    N.... F....

    NIC FEL it depends really on the type of adversity one is facing and the method they use to cope

  40. C.... I....

    Does anybody think that some parts of this song sound like "South Side" by Moby?

  41. S.... F....

    Goofy but chilling.

  42. M.... O....

    When I was younger I would listen to this song every day on the way to school with my dad. I remembered it and looked it. Wow! I never really listen to the powerful lyrics. It was always just a fun song but if you take time to read the lyrics you realize it is about death.

  43. S.... S....

    John 3:16, Romans 3:23, 3:10, 5:12, 6:23, 5:8-9, 10:9-10, 10:13, 10:17, 8:28, Ephesians 2:8-9, Hebrews 11:1-3, James 1:17, 2 Peter 3:9-10, 1 Corinthians 15:51-53, 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 :)

  44. T.... A....

    Where are people hearing “churned”???

  45. C.... Q....

    This is too true. They only serve breakfast in heaven never in hell.

    C.... Q....

    Christopher Quan are you speaking from experience bc I’m a little worried...

  46. t.... t....

    Christian artists today need to come up with better songs that are unique and lyrically creative. This is a gem.

  47. C.... H....

    I remember my pastor playing this song in church when I was little, it was my favorite song 🤣

  48. H.... ....

    Did you just guess what the lyrics were? lol they are so wrong on some of them

  49. I.... W....

    Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”

  50. D.... L....

    Hold the milk but not the sugar!😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵😵

  51. k.... w....

    Newsboys have obviously never had Satan's French Toast. Or his high quality hash browns

  52. J.... P....

    Anthony Bourdain brought me here

  53. r.... J....

    Mmmmmm!!! that sounds delicous

  54. A.... S....

    Cap'n Crunch is waving farewell to 108 people

  55. A.... S....

    Did anyone change "hell" to "heck" whenever this song came on the radio and you sang along with it, or am I the only one?

  56. A.... S....

    I went to a Newsboys concert a few years ago. Michael Tait had just started out as the new lead singer. They teased played this song, and then said "Nope, sorry!" I think it may have been because Tait doesn't know the lyrics to this song, I don't know. They played Jesus Freak instead. Don't get me wrong. I like that song, but Breakfast is Newsboys's icon song. Kind of like Audio Adrenaline and Big House. It's the one that made them famous

    A.... S....

    Newsboys have a ton of big hits: Shine is one of the biggest.

  57. H.... U....

    Watched on repeat!!!!

  58. L.... H....

    From the homeless exerience they do serve breakfast in hell.......shelter food can be expired and or moldy. They call you guests. YEAH

  59. T.... ....

    Good morning from Singapore! Wishing you'd have a blessed evening =)

  60. M.... W....

    This aong has been stuck in my head for 84 years

  61. V.... B....

    Peter Furler is finally back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back to the breakfast song. I got to go to the NB united concert.

  62. C.... M....

    This is my childhood

  63. D.... ....

    Maybe they do serve breakfast in Hell - but toast IS burned and the milk HAS turned

  64. D.... ....

    The most interesting interpretation of the Last Supper I've ever heard.

  65. B.... R....

    it says when the toast is burning, and the milk has turned, I know because I just went to the NB united concert

  66. V.... ....

    What a dumb song. Breakfast in Hell??? Nice video production though :)

    V.... ....

    I think it's their interpretation of the Last Supper

  67. h.... ....

    Mandela effect. He says, "captain crunch." Which is actually how it's supposed to be.

  68. F.... 0....

    no sirven el desayuno en el ifierno, jajajajajjajaja me hizo mucha gracia XDJAJAJAJAJAJJAAJ

  69. A.... U....

    Who is "the big one"?

    A.... U....

    Super Pony death

    A.... U....

    SSB Pichu :3 oh seems I'm lost, I thought "the big one" is either God or the Devil.

    A.... U....

    "to bite the big one" is a popular expression meaning "to die".

    A.... U....

    Nathan Barnes I feel like dying right now

  70. E.... S....

    Stupid judgemental lyrics but it's a classic.

  71. D.... Y....

    banger 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  72. M.... S....

    That looks like some British/Aussie breaksfast haha awesome.

  73. H.... R....

    The subject of the song has nothing to do with food. Listen to the song again.

  74. C.... L....

    I wish I could beat drums like this they have a really good drummer

  75. M.... M....

    Wow this takes me back to my teen years, youth group and those awesome memories!

  76. s.... ....

    I always used to call this the Captain Crunch song. :)

  77. N.... M....

    I once saw a hardcore band cover this. It was awesome haha.

  78. J.... G....

    Love old school Newsboys! LosLost the Plot is also a great classic😉

  79. R.... G....

    One of my all time favorites!!! This makes me laugh even after hearing it hundreds of times!!! Thank you News Bouys!!

  80. S.... o....

    AAAAHHH THE MEMORMEMMEMORIES

  81. W.... M....

    Man, I randomly got nostalgic and came to listen to this because they used to play it every day at my crappy little Christian private school when I was in second grade. Then I read through the comments and realize that hell is being around these fucking evangelical morons. How the hell did I turn out normal? Fuckin' weirdos.

  82. G.... a....

    Oh god this is so fricken funny yet deep

  83. B.... I....

    It says "...and the milk has TURNED." as in gone bad, no longer good to eat.  The song is about the food not being edible cuz you died and they don't serve breakfast in hell.

  84. S.... S....

    They don't serve breakfast in hell!
    I love you, Newsboys! See you tomorrow! You will be closing out the full festival of AtlantaFest 2017!

  85. R.... S....

    Still as inspirational to me in 2017 as when it first came out! Thank you Newsboys!

  86. L.... C....

    you should listen to in the belly of the whale

  87. D.... O....

    Catchiest song ever

  88. C.... P....

    Walter Jr.'s theme song.

  89. v.... ....

    I'm an atheist and i STILL love this song for some reason.

  90. C.... C....

    you are the best.

  91. F.... L....

    Cool Song. Would love to play it at the school Breaky club. But they are getting strict.

  92. j.... ....

    Praise God!

  93. S.... V....

    I want to be crazy for the best 😎😎😇

  94. d.... ....

    "You will lose it in your gym class if you wait 'till noon to eat." 20 years later, I have discovered the wisdom in this line. Eat before going to CrossFit!

  95. C.... C....

    Nice video! That's a great song! BTW, the lyrics are actually "toast IS burned" and "milk has TURNED." "Turned" is an old way of saying something has spoiled. :)

    C.... C....

    Not that old. It was in common usage through the 80s and 90s when this song was written.

  96. M.... ....

    Our Late Friend is Christ, who told us that we'll lose our breakfast (salvation) if we wait 'till noon (the End of Days) to eat (believe).

    He said that when all of the toast has burned and milk churned (the Christians are taken to Heaven), Captain Crunch (breakfast = true faith) will wave farewell (leave this world). When the Big One (God) finds you, the Friend hopes that you'll remember that they don't give you a chance to eat breakfast (be saved) in Hell.

  97. W.... D....

    One of my favorites from them
