Breaking Out

The city doesn't know what's coming She doesn't feel the heat The city won't know what hit her What knocked her out into the streets The city is thinking that it's over and she's already fast asleep So I'm breaking out of here tonight I am ready We're given only what we need Only the chance to survive And even then it's a coin toss, a roll of the dice There's gotta be something better Something that feels more alive So I'm breaking out of here tonight I'm breaking out of here You've got to feel it, girl, feel the wind pick up It feels like something's gonna change But there's no use putting it in drive if all the wheels are stuck There's somethin' wrong here Like this whole city wants to scream but no one makes a sound But you've got to feel it, baby So I'm going to find out what it is and I'm going to tear it down The engine's running, baby, we don't have time for goodbyes I know you can't come with me, I see that look in your eyes So kiss me fast 'cause there's no time to lose Leave the light on, I'll come back for you When everything is said and done I swear I'm gonna make it right I'm breaking out of here tonight! I'm breaking out of here tonight! I'm breaking out of here tonight! I'm breaking out of here tonight I'm so tired of giving up, I am so tired of giving in You wake up knowing things should change Not knowing where to begin This city won't say where she's going and she won't speak of where she's been So I'm breaking out of here tonight Break out (Don't turn your back on the city) (Don't turn your back on the city) (Don't turn your back on the city) Say a prayer for all the children still sleeping (Don't turn your back on the city) Say a prayer for all the fathers who still remember (Don't turn your back on the city) Say a prayer for all the girls who've learned to stand up (Don't turn your back on the city) Say a prayer for all the boys who won't surrender Sometimes I just want to drive until the streets run out I want to burn until there's nothing left to burn about This city's waiting for a better day When I get back there will be hell to pay But if I'm the only one left standing I will not be afraid to fight! I'm breaking out of here tonight! I feel a fever coming on me, burning out of control And I hear nothing but the static For years now there's been nothing but the static on the radio If you can hear my voice outside these walls If you can hear me sending out this message tonight Then break the silence, send a signal back! I'm coming, all I need is a little guiding light If you can hear me Don't turn your back on the city Then break the silence, send a signal back! Don't turn your back on the city Break the silence, send a signal back! I'm coming, all I need is a little guiding light Don't turn your back on the city Don't turn your back on the city I'm coming, all I need is a little guiding light (If you can hear me) (If you can hear me) (If you can hear me) (If you can hear me) Don't turn your back on the city!
