Break It The Law by The Brave Optimistic Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2015

[For Chelsea Manning]

[Verse 1]
Smuggled across the boarder
As a child, and get deported
People learn to break it
And we are better for it
Art is locked up
From the yearning
But hidden servers freed it
And we are better for it

[Chorus 1]
Prisons built up everyday
Doesn't matter anyway

[Verse 2]
Knows that it's not his duty
His heart won't let him fund our fighting
And so he doesn't pay it
And we are better for it
Sick of chemo
Sick of hurting
And so her neighbor grows it
And we are better for it
[Chorus 2]
People locked up everyday
Life gets better anyway
All in spite of the monopoly

[Bridge 1]
May the dam break, may those jail cells open wide
Are you a friend to the meek? This is your chance to decide
May the dam break, may those jail cells open wide
You will never get dry if you fight for the wrong side

[Bridge 2]
Sing freedom songs
Chains break at dawn
Wait for the sun
All night

[Verse 3]
Orwell saw it coming
But little heroes keep on loving
The truth, and so they tell it
And we are better for it
