Lyrics

There I was completely wasting, out of work and down

Expressing a sense of aimlessness and despair during a period of unemployment.

All inside it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town

Describing the frustration and disorientation of drifting between different towns.

Feel as though nobody cares if I live or die

Feeling unnoticed and unimportant, questioning the value of one's existence.

So I might as well begin to put some action in my life

Deciding to take control and introduce some excitement or change into life.


Breaking the law, breaking the law

Repeating the act of "breaking the law" as a symbolic rebellion or expression of defiance.

Breaking the law, breaking the law

-

Breaking the law, breaking the law

-

Breaking the law, breaking the law

-

So much for the golden future, I can't even start

Reflecting on shattered dreams and a disappointing future, unable to make a fresh start.

I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart

Expressing resentment and bitterness due to broken promises, leading to anger.

You don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue

Challenging others to understand the struggles faced, suggesting empathy is lacking.

If you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too

Justifying questionable actions by implying that others would do the same if they understood the circumstances.


Breaking the law, breaking the law

Reiterating the rebellious act, possibly emphasizing its significance or the persistence of defiance.

Breaking the law, breaking the law

-

Breaking the law, breaking the law

-

Breaking the law, breaking the law

-

You don't know what it's like

Reinforcing the idea that others cannot comprehend the challenges faced.


Breaking the law, breaking the law

Continuing the theme of breaking the law as a form of personal agency or resistance.

Breaking the law, breaking the law

-

Breaking the law, breaking the law

-

Breaking the law, breaking the law

-

Breaking the law, breaking the law

Emphasizing and concluding the act of breaking the law, portraying it as a repeated and deliberate choice.

Breaking the law, breaking the law

-

Breaking the law, breaking the law

-

Breaking the law, breaking the law
