Every Bar Was Made To Break
Gelinas/Torrington

Raw Songs
Season 1 Song 5

It's a hard thing to place
inventing the airplane
just to get back from outer space

And no one's making the grade
in the race for escape
when we're all losing the chase

And we all learn to erase
the face of foreign fates
and we all learn to stay the same
Every sign is a sound of change

In a dry spell on a spring rain
all my heavy loads
rain taken away
running low on rechargeable batteries
for my brain
must always be another way
Every bar was made to break

I think it might be time I've conspired
to climb the high tower higher
and stole some fire from the gods
for some poorer lots we've lost along

Time I stole this gold fever so real
and greedy dreams for the sweeter things
and run these switches without wires
or netting to catch me falling free

Go on, go on, go on freedom!
Light this torch and show me the road
don't be waiting late for me to atone
Lead the way but don't leave me alone

In a dry spell on a spring rain
all my heavy loads
rain taken away
running low on rechargeable batteries
for my brain
must always be another way
Every bar was made to break
