Smith Michael W. Ill Lead You Home Breakdown (Quote: "America is essentially a dream. It is a dream of a land where men of all races, of all nationalities and of all creeds, can live together as brothers.") Wasn't it long ago Wasn't it a New England coast Wasn't it the standard - people praying to The Son and the Father and the Holy Ghost (Quote: "...that they are endowed by their creator...") One nation under God (Quote: "...with certain unalienable rights...") Is that what we've now become? The founding fathers left a noble legacy (Quote: "...that among these are life, liberty, And the pursuit of happiness...") 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 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..." (Quote: "The American dream reminds us that every man is The heir and legacy of it. That ever since the founding fathers Of our nation dreamed this dream, America has been to use a Big word the psychiatrists and psychologists use, a schizophrenic Personality.") (Kids: "I pledge allegiance to the flag Of the United States of America And to the republic for which it stands One nation, under God, invisible, With liberty and justice for all.") (Quote: "This is a way of starving the American Dream...") Repeat Chorus |
