Broken Fence

Verse 1

Passport papers scattered on the gravel

Cold coastal winds

Westminster walls are shaking and the gavel

Tolls for these broken sins

Small boats sliding through the morning foam

Shadows search for peace

System fails to make a solid home

Money brings no release

Pre-Chorus

Look at the headlines

Look at the picket lines

Look at the long lines

Chorus

Borders blurred by the river

Hearts begin to shiver

Sold the dream for a pence

Building up a broken fence

Broken fence

Broken fence

Verse 2

Stolen votes bought with hollow greasy palms

Suit and tie lies

Sirens screaming out these false alarms

Under the graying skies

Town square feels like a stranger's map

Locals lost the lead

Fall right into a legislative trap

Growing out of greed

Pre-Chorus

Look at the headlines

Look at the picket lines

Look at the long lines

Chorus

Borders blurred by the river

Hearts begin to shiver

Sold the dream for a pence

Building up a broken fence

Broken fence

Broken fence

Bridge

London is burning cold

Story gets ancient and old

London is burning cold

Left out in the freezing fold

Folding under pressure

Folding under weight

Folding under policy

Chorus

Borders blurred by the river

Hearts begin to shiver

Sold the dream for a pence

Building up a broken fence

Broken fence

Broken fence
