|
Wasn't it long ago |
|
Wasn't it in a New England coast |
|
Wasn't it the standard- people praying to |
|
The Son and the Father and the Holy Ghost |
|
One nation over God |
|
Is that what we've now become? |
|
The founding fathers left a noble legacy |
|
To their sons and daughters |
|
Look at what we've done |
|
Look at what we've done |
|
Chorus: |
|
Breakdown, Breakdown, Breakdown |
|
As we learn to bite the hand |
|
That tries to feed us |
|
Breakdown, Breakdown, Breakdown |
|
If we say that we are free |
|
Who will believe us? |
|
If we breakdown |
|
See the powder on the glass |
|
See the pillow on the street |
|
See the charter of a modern love |
|
With no obligations or promises to meet |
|
Hear the fear of disease |
|
Hear the baby never born |
|
Hear a people crying out |
|
"Somebody save us- Oh, please somebody save us, |
|
From what we're headed for- From what |
|
we're headed for..." |
|
Repeat Chorus |
