How It Breaks

There is a ruler who wants

All the power

It's gonna take all of our

Strength to stop them right where they stand

They steal water

Poison sons and daughters

Play divide and conquer

Fearing what they don't understand

We cannot listen when we're shouting online

It's dividing of our progress when we're so close to fine

The destination where we can align

It's over when we say so and it's already time

That's how it breaks

It's coming to be right now

I know, I know

Good God, give me just a little bit

We can stop them, we've got

More in common, we gotta keep

Them from bombing

Killing in the name of their greed

I hear you

And you hear me

Letting go of fear's

The only way to be free

We cannot listen when we're shouting online

It's dividing of our progress when we're so close to fine

The destination where we can align

It's over when we say so and it's already time

That's how it breaks

It's coming to be right now

I know, I know

Good God, give me just a little bit

Someone will dig it up

Maybe make 'em lose their piece of mind

We wanna see it come undone

By the picket sign

Someone will call it out

Maybe when it's children caught behind

We wanna hear it tearing free

From the thin blue line

I read the news today, oh boy

She was a young American

Oppressed by old established men

I read the news today, oh boy

He was a young American

Killed 'cause the colour of his skin

That's how it breaks

It's coming to be right now

I know, I know

Good God, give me just a little bit

That's how it breaks

It's coming to be right now

I know, I know

Take care of T-C-B

That's how it breaks

It's coming to be right now

I know, I know

Good God, give me just a little bit

That's how it breaks

It's coming to be right now

I know, I know

Good God, give me just a little bit
