This city doesn't know what's coming
She doesn't feel the heat
This city won't know what hit her
What knocked her out into the street
'City's thinking that it's over
She's already fast asleep
So I'm breaking out of here tonight
I am, I am, I am ready
Come on
We're given only what we need
Only the chance to survive
And even then it's a coin toss
A roll of the dice
There's gotta be something better
Something that keeps us alive
So, I'm breaking out of here tonight
I'm breaking out of here
You've got to feel it, baby
Feel the wind pick up
It feels like something's gotta chance
(Something's gotta change)
There's no use putting it into drive
If all the wheels are stuck
There's something wrong here
(Something's wrong here)
Like this whole city wants to scream
But no one makes a sound
You've got to feel it, baby
(Something's wrong here) So I'm gonna find out what it is
And I'm gonna tear it down
The engine's running, baby
We don't have time for goodbye's
I know you can't come with me
I see that look in your eyes
Kiss me fast 'cause there's no time to lose
Baby, I swear I'm coming back for you
When everything's said and done
I swear I'm gonna make it right
But I'm breaking out of here tonight
Come on, Ringo
I'm breaking out of here tonight
I'm breaking out of here tonight!
And you're coming with us
Now listen
I'm so tired of giving up
I am so tired of giving in
You wake up knowing things should change
But not knowing where to begin
This city won't know where she's going
And we won't speak of where we've been
So we're breaking out of here tonight
Come on, everybody
Break out!

Ladies and gentlemen, the Human Choir
(Ooh don't turn your back on the city)
(Ooh don't turn your back on the city)
To me you never leave
(Ooh don't turn your back on the city)
Say a prayer for all the children still sleeping
(Ooh don't turn your back on the city)
Say a prayer for all the fathers who still remember
(Ooh don't turn your back on the city)
Say a prayer for all the girls who've learned to stand up tonight
(Ooh don't turn your back on the city)
Say a prayer for all the boys who won't surrender!
Sometimes I just want to drive until the streets run out
I wanna burn until there's nothing left to burn about
That's right
'City's waiting for what better day
When we get back there will be hell to pay
But, I'm the only one left standing
I will not be afraid to fight
'Cause I'm breaking out of here!
I feel a fever coming
It's burning out of control
And I hear nothing but the static
(Nothing but the static) For years now
There's been nothing but the static on the radio
If you can hear me singing out
(If you can hear me)
If you can hear me singing out this message tonight
Then break the silence, baby
(If you can hear me) Then break the silence, baby
I'm coming all I need is just a little guiding light
Nashville, if you can hear me (If you can hear me)
Don't turn your back on the city
I'm coming all I need is just a little guiding light
Don't turn your back on the city
(Yeah, I am, I am, I am, I am!)
Don't turn your back on the city
(Ready! I swear I'll come back tonight!)
Don't turn your back on the city
Don't turn your back on the city
Don't turn your back on me
If you can hear me
If you can hear me
If you can hear me
Don't turn your back on the city
(City, city, city...)
