Break The Arc
[Intro]
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8
[Verse 1]
You were born on the crest of a curve
Bending towards whomever it serves
As it gets steeper, I look over the edge
I see the drop and feel it in my chest
(Arc of history)
[Verse 2]
You see the vase, I see the faces
Inching forwards at slack paces
(Bending towards)
You see an arc, I see a coil
The new boss, the same toil
(New and exciting world)
[Pre-Chorus]
Right question, wrong answer
This growth is a cancer
[Chorus]
Totally fucked
[Refrain]
I want to break the arc
I want to set it right
We’ll take the arc of history
And like a broken bone
We can set it right
We can set it right
History’s a broken bone
And we can set it right
(Arc of history)
[Verse 3]
Is still progress still progress
Without justice, and just process?
(Bending towards)
They see an arc, we see a coil
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss
(New and exciting world)
[Pre-Chorus]
A sob story turned sick joke
And I’ll be laughing when it’s broke
[Chorus]
Totally fucked
Totally fucked
[Refrain]
I want to break the arc
I want to set it right
I’ll take the arc of history
And like a broken bone
We can set it right
We can set it right
History’s a broken bone
And we can set it right
Yeah we can set it right
History’s a broken bone
And we can set it right
