Back Lyrics - Barenaked Ladies

I woke up yesterday morning 

Fell down two flights of stairs 

Well I thought I was wide awake but my legs were still asleep. 

Nine-one-one ambulance help me 

But I can't reach the phone 

So I scream to the neighbors "Come over break into my home" 

I broke my back 

There was nobody there to help me 

Broke my back

So I wish some genius would just invent them. 

And if they cost to much I'd share with someone else. 

Or I would scour the Yellow Pages and I'd rent them. 

I know I can probably pop a wheely 

Entertaining the kids 

I can put hockey cards in the spokes I can even throw skids 

Photos 

I get a good seat at a concert 

Even get stuff for free 

Is it cause I'm an excellent guy or cause they're scared of me 

I broke my back 

And I can't even use the clapper 

I broke my back 

All the lies and deception won't change the perception that
