(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...")
