Break Down The Barricades

A boy wakes up
On a cool city street
So far away from home
Wipes sleep from his eyes
As he looks to the skies
And says what have I become?

Have my dreams died
Have I not tried
To hold on to what is right
'Cause there comes a time
When you cross that line
And you must stand up and fight, yeah

Break down the barricades (break down)
Break down the walls (break, break down)
Break down the barricades (break down)
Break down the walls

The old man stares
With tired eyes
Into time to yesterday
He's lost and lonely
On these city streets
He drinks his life away

You can preach about love
You can preach about pain
You can fight for progression or political gain
But if you stop caring
You're fighting in vain
There's got to be a change
