Broken Lungs

Woke up to a brand new skyline
We licked our wounds and mourned the dead
Swallowed 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 wed 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 justice
Scream from the roof
We want justice
We want the truth
