Breaking Point Lyrics by The Specials

Encore (Deluxe)

2019

[Verse 1]
I'm here at breaking point, mind and body tired
Those plans for happiness have all expired
The sales pitch from door to door
Says feed the rich and hang the poor
Twinkle twinkle, little star
Point me to the nearest bar
I’ll drown my sorrows with the rest
Do your worst, I'll do my best
Here I am, at breaking point

[Verse 2]
I'm here at breaking point, the pen has dropped
Progress would be wonderful if only it would stop
The internet is free to surf, measures intellect by girth
Here come another email, there goes another shemale
Social media is a trend that will send us all around the bend

[Chorus]
Heavy is the load of a creature ill-disposed
Of a man who finds the end before the start
It breaks your heart

[Verse 3]
Stand with me at breaking point as riots hit the streets
Another toppled government will make the day complete
There goes another border, here comes a new world order
It’s time to call it quits before the future hits

[Refrain]
With the help of God and a few marines
We'll blow this place to smithereens
Here we are, at breaking point

[Chorus]
Heavy is the load of a creature ill-disposed
Of a man who finds the end before the start
It breaks your heart

[Interlude]
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

[Refrain]
With the help of God and a few marines
We'll blow this place to smithereens
Here we are
With the help of God and a few marines
We'll blow this place to smithereens
Here we are
With the help of God and a few marines
We'll blow this place to smithereens
Here we are, at breaking point
