Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have seen what you call progress
Every warning sign ignored
There's a muffled voice of reason
But we can't make out the words
[Verse 2]
And though the balance we struck was delicate
There was a sense of right and wrong
We tried to stem this flow with a tourniquet
But now the patient's dead and gone
[Verse 3]
When we owe more than we're worth
And they're changing the locks on the doors
[Verse 4]
We raised glasses high to the bottom line
On a street engulfed in flames, yeah
But on goes the show...
[Verse 5]
When the city streets are barricaded
A chaos we ourselves created
When there's nothing left, tell me where will you go?
[Verse 6]
When the factories are automated
Broken Dreams incorporated
Gather your things, but there's nowhere to go
[Verse 7]
We are children of lesser gods
Better angels, darker days
But we're holding on to this cause
Like palm trees in a hurricane
[Verse 8]
We chase every second
In clothes that we slept in
But they still got away
[Verse 9]
When the city streets are barricaded
A chaos we ourselves created
When there's nothing left, tell me where will you go?
[Verse 10]
When the factories are automated
Broken Dreams incorporated
Gather your things
But there's nowhere to go?
[Verse 11]
Nowhere to go
[Verse 12]
Was this place ever our home?
Were these lines ever our own?
Are we just reading from the pages
Just putting on a show?
[Verse 13]
Are you along just for the ride?
Keep all hands and feet inside
Will you steer us all to safety
So at least they know you tried?
[Verse 14]
Broken Dreams
Broken Dreams Incorporated
Broken Dreams
Broken Dreams Incorporated
Broken Dreams
Broken Dreams Incorporated
Broken Dreams
Broken Dreams Incorporated
[Verse 15]
No longer asking
We are taking (Broken Dreams Incorporated)
And tomorrow will be what we make it (Broken Dreams Incorporated)
