Thrice - Broken Lungs

    No. 2 in my recent obsession with Thrice

    stayed away from the whole 9/11 thing : /

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------

    Woke up to a brand new skyline
    We licked our wounds and mourn the dead
    Swallow the story hook and sinker
    Is that what we meant, when we said

    That we never would forget?

    Are we fools and cowards all
    To let them cover up their lies?
    ’Cause we all watched the buildings fall
    And watched the scales fall from our eyes

    A fire burns beneath Manhattan
    Still we breathe with broken lungs
    We act like none of this matters
    Is that what we meant, when we said

    That we’d sing what must be sung?

    Are we fools and cowards all
    To let them cover up their lies?
    ’Cause we all watched the buildings fall
    And watched the scales fall from our eyes

    We want answers
    Scream from the roofs
    We want justice
    We want the truth

      Broken Lungs and song or poem? about World Trade Centers coming down by Radical Islamofascists?
      Who wrote the words?
