Breakdown Lyrics Wasn't it long ago?
Wasn't it on 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,
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, breakdown, breakdown
Breakdown, break
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."
(Chorus)
Breakdown, breakdown, breakdown
As we learn to bite the hand
That tries to feed us
Breakdown, breakdown, breakdown
(Chorus)
