Wasn't it long ago?
And wasn't it on a New England coast
And wasn't it the standard people praying to
The Son and the Father and the Holy Ghost, yes

One nation over God
Is that what we've now become?
The founding fathers left a noble legacy
To their sons and their daughters, the sons and the daughters

And look at what we've done
And look at what we've done

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 streets
See the charter of a modern love
With no obligations or promises to meet

Now hear the fear of disease
Now hear the baby never born
And 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'

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
As we learn to bite the hand that tries to feed us
Breakdown, breakdown, breakdown

Yeah, 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
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

Yeah, breakdown, breakdown, breakdown
If we say that we are free, who will believe us?
If we breakdown, breakdown, breakdown
Breakdown, breakdown, breakdown

Breakdown
[Incomprehensible]
