<b>Break Out Of History</b> by <i>Tumbledown</i><br />et'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 masses, 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
