Under the world's forever distracted eyes
Under the sponge strokes of a democracy
There's someone who lived hoping
And there's someone who still lived dying
There's someone who manages to sleep
Under the world's bored and distracted eyes
The bullet's chambered in fine calligraphy
The justice you're waiting for
Is the same for everybody
But the rulings are a hair late
Lawyers raising the chalice to the sky
There's someone who can break the sound barrier
While the whole world comments on itself
The match struck in the dark
Sheds more light than we see
There's someone who can break the sound barrier
Under the world's eyes busy elsewhere
Every tale gets rewritten in economics
With pit bulls let loose to maul in the street
And the owners just standing there smoking
Whoever was supposed to pay never paid
There's someone who can break the sound barrier
While the whole world comments on itself
The match struck in the dark
Sheds more light than we see
There's someone who can break the sound barrier
Under the world's still distracted eyes
Things get flipped downtown and in the suburbs
The vampire doesn't change
Doesn't apologize for all that blood
Whoever was supposed to pay never paid
Whoever was supposed to pay never paid
Whoever was supposed to pay never paid
There's someone who can break the sound barrier
While the whole world comments on itself
The match struck in the dark
Sheds more light than we think
There's someone who can break the sound barrier
