They're Out To Break Us

They're out to break us
Out to make us crawl
Don't they long to see us
With our backs against the wall
Must keep on fighting
Even if we die
They'll look down and see
We got our boots on where we lie

They're out to break us
Don't let them have their way
God knows good from evil
Baby, what more can I say

New Brixton's burning
Way up in the sky
Can't nobody stop it now
And still the firemen try
They're out there watching
Standing on their decks
Thinking what they're headed for
Is what we can't protect

They're out to break us
Don't let them have their way
God knows good from evil
Baby, what more can I say

Little one, don't let them break us
Oh now little one, don't let them take us
Little one, don't let them break us
Oh now little one, don't let them take us

One summer morning
Waking out of sleep
I saw what we'd struggled for
And what I'd die to keep
They're out to take it
Out to prove us wrong
Out to put an end to
Why it is that we belong

They're out to break us
Don't let them have their way
God knows good from evil
Baby, what more can I say

Little one, don't let them break us
Oh now little one, don't let them take us
Little one, don't let them break us
Oh now little one, don't let them take us

This couldn't happen
That's what we were told
Now we see it coming
As we stand here in the cold
Might be tomorrow
Feel it in the air
You and me and all the rest
Will find out what we share

They're out to break us
Don't let them have their way
God knows good from evil
Baby, what more can I say

Oh, God knows good from evil
Baby, what more can I say
Now God knows good from evil
Baby, what more can I say
