Tesla - Breakin' Free Lyrics






I've had all I can take
The lyin' to my face
I'm tried of the abuse, all the excuses that you've made
There'll be no compromise
I've finally realized
It's time to cut the noose , I'm bustin' loose and start livin' my life....

I don't care what you say
You'd better get out of my way
I'm tired of wastin' my time,
Now I'm breakin' free....

I always knew the day would come
When everything's coming undone
Now I've made up my mind, I'm breakin' free.....

I'm done with swallowing my pride
And the truth in the end denied
You know it makes me sick how you're so quick to always criticize
You never find fault in yourself
You're always blamin' someone else
When you know that it's you and it's true that were through, it's just a livin' hell....

I don't care what you say
You'd better get out of my way
I'm tired of wastin' my time,
Now I'm breakin' free...

I always knew the day would come
When everything's coming undone
Now I've made up my mind, I'm breakin' free....

Every time I start feelin' down,
I know it's time that I turned this around,
Every time I start thinking' what went wrong
I can't believe that it went so bad,
All the times that you drove me mad
I can't believe that I stayed with you so long.....

I don't care what you say
You'd better get out of my way
I'm tired of wastin' my time,
Now I'm breakin' free...

I always knew the day would come
When everything's coming undone
Now I've made up my mind, I'm breakin' free....

    Been a Teslaholic since 1986...And have seen the boys 21 times.  # 22 happens tonight in Cleveland.  THEE ULTIMATE BAND. \m/

  17. J.... M....

    Started following these cats in '86 when MR was released...18 years old.  Just turned 50 and they are still my all time fave.  Nobody does it better.  Seeing them in July for the 22nd time.  Never miss a chance to get TESLAFIED!!!  NO MACHINES>

  18. A.... P....

    that's what I need! Good music and Breaking free!

  19. M.... K....

    love it!!

  20. c.... n....

    best band ...

  21. D.... B....

    Best song on the Forever More CD....but you probably already knew this

  22. 6.... ....

    You tried to tell me MC ... sorry I did not listen until it was too late ...

  23. L.... L....

    Love this song , breaking free ..literally

  24. K.... D....

    Damn Good Song!!!

  25. T.... P....

    Love that bluesy rock sound!!

  26. j.... 2....

    Rock on, 6-8-2016. Forever More.

  27. T.... p....

    Great sound it has a great feel. Makes you wanna move and speak y
    Our mind.

  28. n.... ....

    Ahhh 80's sound...burns in my vein, warms my soul! Thanks guys for givin' me these emotions!!!

  29. A.... G....

    I have loved these guys since 1983...!! God I'm old..!!!!

    A.... G....

    SORRY 86 mechanical resonance came out

    A.... G....

    Right there with you! We may be old, but we had all the good music!

    A.... G....

    Me too Best band ever! Their music speaks to my soul!

    A.... G....

    Amy, but we saw all the cool bands !

    A.... G....

    #metoo dont feel bad

  30. h.... ....

    very cool

  31. R.... C....

    absolutely love TESLA!!!  One of the best all time Hair bands of history!!!

    R.... C....

    +Rebecca Combs you have such beautiful eyes not a come on just the truth.

    R.... C....

    except they weren't a hair band

    R.... C....

    Agreed Karo...these guys were all blue jeans and t shirts.

  32. d.... ....

    'sgood!

  33. M.... M....

    This song fucking rocks!!! Tesla baby!!!!!

  34. s.... ....

    Dave Rudd was a WORTHY replacement for Tommy... in fact it is my opinion that Rudd brings a whole lot more to the table than Tommy was capable of in his final days with the band. TESLA has been the most consistent inspiration throughout the years to me personally and it's a kick in the ass to see them defy the laws of ROCK BANDSHIP... and still be 80% original members and pumpin out the high caliber TOP FUEL jams that have made them who they are. J.K. is the best lyricist in ROCK ..ever.

    s.... ....

    oh ive been finding his name ... haha, tnx! yep Tommy is unreplaceable but Dave is a worthy new member... like his feel more!! it adds deepness to their sound and blusy.

  35. L.... ....

    I freakin love this band!

  36. W.... B....

    brutalllll..!!!

  37. p.... ....

    indeed, but i imagain this song was recorded sometime after tool debuted, not that im saying its a copy, you hear the same sounds and notes alot in music, its a coincidence is all.

  38. s.... ....

    Isn't Tool a younger band?

  39. p.... ....

    that opening melody could so nearly be Tool

  40. n.... ....

    They still rock as hard as they did when they were City Kidd !!!

  41. J.... G....

    No doubt brotha......saw them in the 80's 90's(and Jeff Keith with Sofa KIngs in Hershey), 2000's.....Were awesome everytime.....Great lyrics, melody, and guitars!!!!!

  42. J.... T....

    saw these guys twice. if you ever get a chance to see tesla do it. best concert ever.

  43. V.... B....

    This is an amazing song, and Tesla is the most under rated band of all time!!
    is there any difference between this version and the one on the album?

  44. C.... S....

    Now this is music!

  45. y.... ....

    2 people can't break free...

  46. s.... ....

    Please, help! I'm desperate... I cannot find a bad song by Tesla...it seems they just rocks!!!!

  47. m.... ....

    This song is amazing! It Relates To Me In So Many Ways.

  48. T.... F....

    I seen them when they were touring with Poison back in I think it was 87-88. When Tesla was done. Poison came on the stage. More then half the stadium kept chanting for Tesla to come out while Poison was playing. it was hilarious.

    T.... F....

    TheLord Fenris lol we did the same thing here was great...

  49. V.... L....

    Tesla is a hybrid of rock, neo-classical country southern...infused with kickass harmonies ...fan for life!!!

  50. C.... W....

    @metallicamastg I agree

  51. C.... W....

    @guitarfreak421 Dream Theater all the way baby

  52. M.... M....

    @DreamTheaterFan10 Yeh absotuly, but the fact ist that Jonas fags and Justin suckhead are just "created" for business, to steal cash from young dumb kidz that know a shit about music. They see em on TV or somewhere and want to follow the large mass of people calld mainstream. I guess thats why I like tesla, cuz theyr different.

  53. C.... W....

    @metallicamastg I agree, bands are always better without are large mass of people following them, but I think Tesla should be a bit more popular than they are. I mean, the fact that bands like "The Jonas Brothers", or "Justin Beiber" have millions of fans, and no musical talent, but Tesla is amazing, and is just starting to be recognized now is a bit muddled

  54. M.... M....

    @DreamTheaterFan10 Yeh I agree with this but maybe it´s better that they are underrated, maybe they still kick ass only beacause they are underrated...still tryin to be the best. Thats the way it should be

  55. C.... W....

    @metallicamastg Hell no, Tesla is one of the best bands around. And they are way too underrated

  56. M.... M....

    @DreamTheaterFan10 exact I thought _I am the only one thinkin bout tesla that way

  57. M.... B....

    I just saw them last night and this song totally fits my life right now. I love this stuff!!!

  58. C.... W....

    This is why I love Tesla, it's not quite heavy metal, but then again it's not quite just "rock" either, it's somewhere in between and it's freakin' awesome!

  59. N.... B....

    Saw them place this live!
    EVEN BETTER LIVE

  60. G.... E....

    Love this song!!

  61. t.... ....

    This is song kiss ass hard!!
    New theme song to a lot of people`s life`s.

  62. e.... ....

    I luv anyone who luvs this song...its what all rock songs should be measured by...heavier than zeppelin with better frontman...jk is the the best ive ever seen live...wow.

  63. S.... G....

    Great song from a very underrated band. Tesla's music is awesome and the guys in the band are great. I've seen them live 3 times, and i'll be glad to see them again and again cause they Rock !!! Great songs, great music, great time.

  64. c.... ....

    this is a Tesla staple they'll carry with them the whole rest of their career. Pure Tesla greatness.

  65. h.... ....

    word ;-) quess you,ve been around a while aswell

  66. M.... ....

    Telsa is as good as ANY band out there if not better, Have they ever done a bad album? Their not Prima Donna's like the others are. If you met them youd never know they were 'rockstars' every one of them are the coolest dudes in rock you'll ever meet...they sign every autograph, talk w the fans take pics and are just all around good people. Definately desrving of the RocknRoll hall of fame.

  67. M.... ....

    Amen cant agree more with you.

  68. m.... ....

    Me too! Several of the songs on the album speak to me like that! It's almost like I wrote the album! Good Luck!

  69. c.... s....

    saw em in 87...opened for def leppard and rocked the house

  70. R.... ....

    such an underated band. tesla is an incredible band and deserve to be a lot more famous. i love these guys

  71. M.... J....

    I've been going through a nasty divorce for nearly 1.5 years. It is unreal how much this song speaks to me!

  72. A.... C....

    Very much like Dokken

  73. I.... O....

    Sounds like a great 80s headbanger song....a little like Dokken.

  74. J.... S....

    Great Song, Great band, even better album!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is one of the few albums on my to buy list! :D i haven't seen it anywhere yet though :(
    and i agree with y'all.. definitely need to play more rock like this on the radio!
    this is definitely my fav song from the album tho!

  75. J.... ....

    If we could just stop the buble gum muzik that the little pop stars are putting on the Radio. I know its not there fault but come on DJ's It time to play Rock N Roll again. Bands like this still put out great music. I have seen TESLA five times. Great live band. Rock on TESLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  76. R.... ....

    Love this song they're just awesome!

  77. R.... ....

    I heard this song on the radio and it was awesome!!!
