Break The Code
Come on over let’s go for a ride
Things are getting complicated
I’ve given up not seeing what you’re trying to hide
Words they wrote slowly faded
Before the time that we first met
Good old Jimmy said that you were true
I believed him, after all, he was a vet
I’m afraid to know the things he knew
Well I’m movin’ on and I know I’ll never be alone
Just lookin’ for sunshine, a place to call a home
Remember all those joyous fields we used to roam
But I’m turnin’ off this rocky road before I break another bone
Here we are in future times
You’ve been telling stories more than ever
Occupying weakened minds
Saying nothing while you think you’re clever
Jimmy died last week out on the street
Forgotten, all alone, and unprotected
But I saw him just before that day had come
He took back everything he said of you
You keep droppin’ the rocks down on this rocky road
My wheels keep breakin’, my head’s about to explode
You keep droppin’ the rocks down on this rocky road
I try to keep it together when you’re tellin’ me what you’re owed
There’s a lock on the exit door and we’re bound to break the code
We’re bound to break the code
We’re bound to break the code
We’re bound to break the code
Rewrite the rules, ignore the fools
We don’t have time, we don’t have time (break the code)
Rewrite the rules, ignore the fools
Even if it’s only in your mind (break the code)
