Broken Bones Lyrics - Singles - The Flatliners

Touched by the hands that have murdered a million 

Unarmed patrons' fists raised 

They don't wanna listen to the bullshit being fed to them spoonful at a time 

When death can cost more than a quarter, nickel, and a dime 

Hand's up, questions are raised 

Another first-thing-in-the-morning-bombing 

These days they say there's so much to live for, I'm really not sure 

With all the shit that's going on, we're told to keep our heads up 

What's next? One more mass suicide? 

The context of it, we don't even have the time 

Some say that we've over analyzed it 

But the real reason people are effected by it is the neglect on some's behalf 

Who are ruining it for the rest of us that just wanna see this end 

The hands of time can't be expected to fix this 

Who would've thought it would've come to this? 

Wake up to this world 

It's gonna be too late, it's gonna be too late 

Wake up 

When the war is over there's nowhere to go 

Firing down the line, sharpshooter in the corner 

The door won't open, with a blast it's blown wide open 

A bullet in the head, a factory worker is dead 

It'll make the headline news, but they'll keep beating up on you 

Told to go away, tightrope walking everyday just to be safe 

I've gotta say I haven't got all day 

And it's so horrible that your stomach's so full 

There is a way out, but it's an ugly road 

Wake up to this world 

It's gonna be too late, it's gonna be too late 

Wake up 

When the war is over there's nowhere to go 

Wake up to this world 

It's gonna be too late, it's gonna be too late 

Wake up 

When the war is over, we'll have to start all over 

When the war is over, there's no home or shelter 

We're gonna start all over 

Wake up to this world 

Oh, wake up 

Wake up 

Just wake up to this world
