Breakline Anthem

(one, two, three, four!)

Fluorescent glow is humming high

Underneath the heavy ceiling tile

I count five doors to meet the sky

But I am stuck here for a while

Three songs on the morning stage

Before they locked me in this cage

I've got a torn ticket stub in my hand From a night

I used to understand (yeah!)

Break out!

Let the shift-change ring!

(sing it out!) We are the ones who never win But tonight

we're going to scream and sing (aaaaah!)

Outside on the fire escape

Cold air hits my burning face

Checking the clock, drawing a map Of every single exit in this

place

Three songs on the radio play

Is all I need to run away

But then the phone line starts to ring And a voice says

"we don't need your songs"

They threw my tape into the fire Now I know

where I belong

(no, no, no!)

We are running

through the gates! (yeah!) No more calls,

no more waits!
