New Pornographers, The - Breakin' The Law Lyrics






I can never place the name with the face.
I can never place the name with the face.

Don't touch me;
Don't touch me up to the tee by the numbers.
It's not much but I'm going under.
It's not much but I'm going under.
It's not much but I'm going under.

Liar, Liar, everything's on fire.
So I don't want to hear how you crossed the wires.
Don't touch me, don't touch me up,
Watch, I'll take it to the river.
You'll come too, little Indian giver.
You'll come too, little Indian giver.
You'll come too, little Indian giver.

So give us the keys now,
We'll burn this hall of justice down.
Around the ankles, or just to the ground.
Hats off to the city fathers,
They're no longer a hundred feet tall.
They're no longer, no longer,
And we're just here,
Another hundred feet stronger.

  10. T.... ....

    One of my favorite of the NPs' songs. I think it's so effective because the whole album before this has sort of funny/witty lyrics and is very up-tempo/classic pop/some modulation stuff, and then this comes on with the fist-pumping chord sequence and Dan Bejar talking about revolution and self-reliance. Too good. Also, yeah, the Destroyer form is really enjoyable, though definitely a different feel

  11. K.... ....

    HEELLLL YES.
