Lyrics
Break (3 Protections)
You can speak when what you say changes
When you’re wearing something different outside
Protection – learn the word
Investment – pay the fine
Let’s have a talk about your shaky foundation
Trim a bit from all the shit that you owe
It’s a subtle nudge toward your place there
Protection – no stones to throw
Waiting to break
Kill the taxman
Kill the president
Waiting to break
And be sweetly broken
I’ve gotten good at lying to you, babe
Am I lying to you now?
Feel free to join the other animals
No need to think, we’ve left you many a sign
Protection – learn the word
There is no other side
Waiting to break
Kill the managers
Kill the complicitor
Lying in wait
The dead, the lost, the certain who are
Waiting to break
When you won’t even point the gun
Waiting to break
And be sweetly broken
