About To Break I was walking alone on the ocean I felt a fever burning up all I am 'Cause if there's one thing that I can't stand It's standing next to my fellow man, ah
It's about to break, oh
For the social worker at the needle exchange For the soft medicated and the hard deranged For the lesbians at the bakery Saying, 'Do you really hate me?'
It's about to break
Break like a fever It's about to break Break like a fever
People looking for themselves without mirrors Well, not knowing why you're here Public appearance is the verge of tears When you're out, you get off on weed and beer
Stand up now, let me look at you Can we all take a part of you? Stand up now, let me look at you
Can we all take a part of you?
You're dangerous with a stinger, missile Weapons hot, thinking this will We won't make them follow orders Doctors without borders
It's about to break It's about to break Break like a fever When I see your face, I wanna be in the human race (Break like a fever) You're beautiful, it's true, I wanna be beautiful life you When I see your face, I wanna be in the human race
You're beautiful, it's true, I wanna be beautiful life you For the teenage mother with the baby asleep For apricot when life is cheap For losing faith ... America fades into myth
