[Verse 1]
I bought those glasses from a stall downtown
Thought they were just for the glare
Then the billboards bled through the sky
And I saw the truth in there
All the smiling faces, same blank stare
Same words in every mouth
A hand behind the pretty light
Pulling the whole thing down
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, "Don't look away"
So I held my ground
In the cracks of the screen
I heard that hungry sound
[Chorus]
Break the signal, break the signal
Cut that voice in the wall
Break the signal, break the signal
Set the whole world free from control
Break the signal, break the signal
We can hear the people rise
Break the signal, break the signal
Burn the lie out of the sky
[Verse 2]
You met me by the subway gate
With a bag and shaking hands
You had the map, I had the key
And a scar from the last attempt
We followed the hidden ads at dawn
Past the pawn shop and the church
Every screen said, "Buy, believe, obey"
But we knew what that meant first
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, "This is it"
When the tower came in view
We were two small sparks
With a wire to cut in two
[Chorus]
Break the signal, break the signal
Cut that voice in the wall
Break the signal, break the signal
Set the whole world free from control
Break the signal, break the signal
We can hear the people rise
Break the signal, break the signal
Burn the lie out of the sky
[Bridge]
They fed us fear in a polished grin
Made cages look like homes
But I saw the seam in the painted skin
And now I know what it owns
So take my hand when the siren screams
We go straight through the red
One shot, one spark, one shattered dream
And the whole machine falls dead
[Chorus]
Break the signal, break the signal
Cut that voice in the wall
Break the signal, break the signal
Set the whole world free from control
Break the signal, break the signal
We can hear the people rise
Break the signal, break the signal
Burn the lie out of the sky
[Outro]
No more masks on the morning news
No more chains in a sales pitch smile
We break the signal, we break the signal
And we wake the world up wild
