Rise Against - Broken English Lyrics






Our buildings have fallen, our walls all caved in,
And we can't comprehend this sad state that we're in
So we sift through the ashes of what we've become
And surrender here one by one, so push us down

And we get right back up again,
The things you're telling me aren't making any sense,
Right back up again,
I'm sick of wishing for someone else to come

Let the blind lead the blind,
Cause it's eye for an eye
In your so called life,
Are you out there? are you listening?
Is there something we're still missing?

Let the blind lead the blind,
Cause it's eye for an eye,
We all fall down

And we get right back up again,
The things you're telling me aren't making any sense,
Right back up again,
I'm sick of wishing for someone else to come

We're spinning out of control
We're trying to find somewhere to land
And I don't want you to know
The things that keep me down

Cause we get right back up again,
The things you're telling me aren't making any sense,
Right back up again,
I'm sick of wishing for someone else to come

  2. m.... j....

    No patient

  3. R.... ....

    the beginning up until the end of the solo makes me nut so hard everytime i hear it. the progression is just so badass

  4. m.... j....

    Oh fank u stupid amwerican

  5. J.... M....

    Today, I dedicate this song to the worst election of president for Mexico

  6. R.... ....

    Punk will prevail

    R.... ....

    ReushK slow down revs

  7. S.... ....

    Definitely the sickest song on RPM!

    S.... ....

    Secondbest9966 what about voices off camera

  8. P.... ....

    Sound of a free beating heart

  9. P.... P....

    ahhh old rise against lets me breathe so deeply.

  10. j.... ....

    damn, high school sure doesnt seem like 15 years ago.. this song sparks so many memories from the early 00's.

    Rise against was always in my ears on those aweful headphones we had before the earbuds. nobody even knew who TF RA was. My best friends bro had a punk band that opened for one of RA's shows, thus CDs came back, and then sparked a lasting love.

    Best music for riding ATVs, period. (even better when @ the beach)

    j.... ....

    I feel ya, I listened to crappy ripped versions of their songs. Listening to them in HQ was like rediscovering the songs.

    j.... ....

    Awesome music for skating, as well. Everything is "Go-go-go." Historia Calamitatum is the best running song, though.

  11. R.... ....

    one of their best tracks ever.

  12. J.... ....

    intro sounds like survive

    J.... ....

    Daddy Aleks

  13. D.... ....

    and we get right back up again
    the things you're telling me aren't making any sans

  14. S.... ....

    Who else is listening to this in December 2015, soon to be January 2016?! :-)

    S.... ....

    Rigth here

  15. A.... D....

    From 1:20 to 1:25 sounds like Black Masks and Gasonline's intro. :D The part "And she just doesn't know, how much more she can give"

    A.... D....

    so true

  16. M.... ....

    Doesn't this song's intro sound similar (the first few seconds) to Survive's (after about 30 seconds or so)

    M.... ....

    Wouldn't Survive sound more familiar to this? 😉

  17. P.... P....

    our buildings have fallen, our walls all caved in.
    and we cant comprehend this sad state that we're in!
    so we sift through the ashes of what we've become.
    and surrender here one. by. one !
    --so push us down!!
    AND WE GET RIGHT BACK UP AGAIN!!!!

    P.... P....

    Let the blind lead the blind, cause it's eye for an eye, in your so called "Life"! Are you out there? Are you listening? Is there something we're still miiisiiiiing?!

    P.... P....

    +Seabee156 i sing so loud when i run :o

    P.... P....

    Speaking of high school - I just found out that Joe, the bassist in this band, actually went to the same high school i did, and was even there for some of the time that I was. Mind blown!

  18. O.... ....

    had to come back and listen to my favorite song of all time after listening to the umm, stuff on their new album

    O.... ....

    I know that you usually can recognize a great band, these fellas are incredible!
    *watch?v=el3cHidIiAU*

    Consider the youtube URL, you certainly will enjoy it!!

    O.... ....

  27. U.... ....

    One of the best songs ever and my favorite band ever,Listening to their songs for 3 years now

  28. G.... ....

    Because of you I will now always understand your line when I hear this song :D

  29. m.... ....

    It´s actually "this sad state we´re in" ;)

  30. F.... ....

    Yes. Most people hear "... this state we're in..." because in regards to the context that actually makes sense.

  31. m.... ....

    Am i the only one hearing "And we can't comprehend this sex tape that we're in"? lol

  32. M.... K....

    awesome song

  33. J.... P....

    fuck yea

  34. C.... b....

    The last time I saw them was at Lollapalooza in 2009. They deserve every bit of fame they get but coming from a scene where I saw them before they were nobody seeing them in such a large venue just wasn't the same. I hope they are happy. Rock on.

  35. e.... ....

    And yours isn't ?

  36. l.... c....

    Do you still see them live?

  37. C.... b....

    I remember seeing these guys in hole in the wall venues/bars with like a hundred people in the crowd, tops with every single fucking kid there singing their throat hoarse to every lyric with fists in the air and some dude you didn't even know around your shoulder singing right in your face with you. Man, those were the fucking days. I'll never forget how awesome these intimate shows used to be.

  38. U.... ....

    I don't really hear it.

  39. H.... D....

    There are twelve notes. there are a shitload of chords. Rise Against uses a good amount of funky chords

  40. P.... B....

    Pathetic username

  41. H.... D....

    hey dummies!! there are only 12 notes. Some songs might sound the same. its just a similar rhythm. at least its different and broken up and not the same straight forward strumming a lot of bands like to use. my band does the same shit. it makes it fun. HDH

  42. T.... ....

    pathetic comment..

  43. t.... ....

    thats the spirit

  44. g.... ....

    Anglishz iz nawt broquen !

  45. R.... S....

    maybe not the same chords but it's the exact same riff. the chorus of The Strength to Go On also has the same chorus as Ready to fall

  46. F.... G....

    No it doesn't. Sorta similiar but not the same

  47. R.... S....

    haha :)

  48. P.... B....

    3 People tried putting there headphones into a grenade.

  49. P.... B....

    No, And I've used both as my ringtones.....I feel dumb now...

  50. R.... F....

  68. J.... ....

    This song. This and Paper Wings are the two songs that i have listened to almost every day for a long time and never seem to get old. Trashy new generation music just can't do what Rise Against can.

  69. W.... G....

  70. H.... S....

  89. C.... ....

    I adore all rise against songs! I just cant get enough!

  90. B.... H....

    I cant hear you over the sound of how epic this song is

  91. T.... ....

    @nathanael117

  92. f.... ....

    @JessFromMead cant say your wrong about that.

  93. J.... ....

    @finalbladecrisis I like Savior, and Refugee, but I agree, Their older stuff like Give it all, Swing life away and this are much better.

    At least they haven't stooped to Linkin Parks level and completely ditch everything that made Linkin Park 'Linkin Park'

  94. I.... ....

    @AyonEopia ya, a long time ago, when i first started to listen to RA I got the songs messed up cause of that

  95. f.... ....

    for the record, Rise AGainst's newer stuff is considered mainstream, but on the other hand the older stuff (better in my opinion) is not mainstream . if you play it for more recent fans they won't know who it is. ive done it, and they yelled at me

  96. A.... E....

    @AdrianvsJak

    If you listen to Survive carefully, they use the same chords in the beginning but then the guitar stops suddenly and switches to a new intro. Like some kind of, "Hey, wrong song dude."
    "Oh, yeah."

  97. T.... ....

    @Stickman1298 +1

  98. d.... ....

    @tm18241 woah woah nothing about the dead kennedys................ i dunno u sorta lost my vote if u didnt put em in there lol

  99. J.... H....

    beginning sounds a lot like survive!
