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!
