Tumbledown - Break Out Of History lyrics

let's read all the books that have been sitting on the shelf take all the promises and keep them for ourselves face the so called music when it's staring back at you tell all the others, the the ma**es, tell the few tell all the others, tell the few let's break out of history and stand still for a while try to make some sense of this and smile, smile, smile do you hear the future out there knocking on the door hand in hand with progress, they are coming in for sure it's your turn to open up the door tell me why, why, why you're so sad tell me why, why, why you'd be better off alone tell me who you are and where you've been along the road tell me all the stories from your troubled episodes what of all the junkies with a life that's gone so wrong what of all the prisoners that sing their jailbird song and will the choir sing along if the weather keeps on changing will it turn back from the worse made a promise to the people in the shadow of our thirst the rain fills up the gutters and the wind blows down this town get yourself right out of there before you start to drown and take the high road out of town tell me why, why, why you're so sad tell me why, why, why you'd be better off alone what has happened to the round table and who turned out the lights we've been sitting in the dark here, we've been hanging from the heights the hungriest of wolves will never satisfy their fill the working man will never have a house up on the hill there's a gator in the backyard looking for a meal a thief inside the house looking for a heart to steal this can't be washed with a pill do you believe the president and men that tell his lies there's something in the tonic that is blurring out our eyes the enemies are laughing as the allied forces cry no one wins a battle when your son or brother dies the only way to truly win is keep your dreams alive rats get fat while good men die it's up to us to turn the tide tell me why, why, why you're so sad tell me why, why, why you'd be better off alone
