Broken Bones
Broken Bones Reflection: Abandoning Liberty and the Cost of Choices
Lyrics
Sometimes I stare at the night sky
Sometimes, I contemplate the night sky
See them stars a billion light years away
Observing stars that are incredibly distant
And it makes me feel small like a bug on a wall
Feeling insignificant, akin to a bug on a wall
Who gives a shit anyway?
Expressing indifference or disregard
Who gives a shit anyway?
Reiterating a sense of apathy
When World War II was over
Reflecting on the aftermath of World War II
Though the slate was never wiped clean
Noting that the consequences were enduring
We could have picked over them broken bones
Suggesting the opportunity to address past issues
We could have been free
Missed chance for freedom
But we chose to adhere to abundance
Choosing abundance over reflection
We chose the American Dream
Opting for the pursuit of the American Dream
And oh mistress liberty
Addressing Lady Liberty as a symbol
How we abandoned thee
Expressing abandonment of liberty
How we abandoned thee
Reiterating the forsaking of liberty
And oh Mistress Liberty
Repeating the address to Lady Liberty
How we abandoned thee
Emphasizing the abandonment of liberty
Could have been born in Shreveport
Contemplating different birthplaces
Or he could have born in Tehran
Indicating the inconsequence of birthplace
It don't much matter wherever you're born
Asserting the insignificance of origin
Little babies mean us no harm
Stating that infants are harmless
They have to be taught to despise us
Highlighting the learned nature of animosity
To bulldoze our homes to the ground
Describing the destruction of homes
To believe their fight is for liberty
Explaining the misguided belief in fighting for liberty
To believe their God will keep them safe and sound
Exploring faith in divine protection
Safe and sound
Repeating the idea of safety and security
Safe and sound
Reiterating the theme of safety
We cannot turn back the clock
Acknowledging the inability to reverse time
Cannot go back in time
Emphasizing the impossibility of time travel
But we can say "fuck you" we will not listen to
Defiantly rejecting false narratives
Your bullshit and lies
Expressing refusal to accept deception
Your bullshit and lies
Repeating the rejection of falsehood
