Breakaway

Breakaway Breakaway We gotta breakaway Modern people Want to live in a modern life Though they trick and take Rip and rape Destroy the things that are right They came to my town I was a boy Just about five Today we demonstrate, litigate Even show our might Breakaway I wanna know just what it is We gotta breakaway Race colour She was a right wing I was a left Together we're strong We will crucify Just plain denied To practice out our rights Those were the bad days Today we're rich And we have kids But they didn't learn Through all the hurt The meaning of our might Breakaway I wanna know just what it is We gotta breakaway You know it's in our past We had to sacrifice a lot It was give and take For the human race Just learning right from wrong They put it in our minds And now they're putting it in your So learn to fight the hate For the human race Or we're lost Breakaway breakaway breakaway Breakaway We gotta breakaway Breakaway I wanna know just what it is We gotta breakaway --- Breakaway - Haddaway and Richard James
