Broken Bones

Lyrics

Sometimes I stare at the night sky
 See them stars a billion light years away
 
 And it makes me feel small like a bug on a wall
 Who gives a shit anyway?
 Who gives a shit anyway?
 ♪
 When World War II was over
 Though the slate was never wiped clean
 
 We could have picked over them broken bones
 We could have been free
 But we chose to adhere to abundance
 We chose the American Dream
 ♪
 And, oh, Mistress Liberty
 How we abandoned thee
 (How we abandoned thee)
 And, oh, Mistress Liberty
 How we abandon thee
 ♪
 Could have been born in Shreveport
 Or he could have born in Tehran
 
 It don't much matter wherever you're born
 Little babies mean us no harm
 
 They have to be taught to despise us
 To bulldoze our homes to the ground
 
 To believe that their fight is for liberty
 To believe that their God will keep them safe and sound
 ♪
 (Safe and sound)
 (Safe and sound)
 We cannot turn back the clock
 ♪
 Cannot go back in time
 But we can say, "Fuck you, we will not listen to
 ♪
 Your bullshit and lies"
 ♪
 Your bullshit and lies
