If Trust Breaks Down

©2005 J Oscar Bittinger

Do you feel safe at night
Do you feel safe at night
Seems like something isn't right
If trust breaks down
Who will believe
Who-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Who-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
 

Posters on the telephone poles
Posters on post office walls
Posters on the internet call out 
If trust breaks down
Where is 
Tru-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooth
Tru-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooth
 

Emergency sirens howl
Police cars on the prowl
Who are they looking for now?
If trust breaks down
Will they come looking for
You-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
You-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
You-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo Ahhhh

BRIDGE
I feel that being afraid 
Makes free people into slaves
How can we ever feel safe
Without community
Unity 
You and me
To be brave

A change is bound to come
A change has got to come
There's talk of revolution
If trust breaks down
That may come
True-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
True-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
True-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Don't let trust break down
Don't let trust break down
Don't let trust break down
Don't let trust break down
Between me and you
