Breaking Out Songtext
von The Protomen

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!
