Break New Ground
Iron Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I still choose my diet with care
but the blood on your hands won't wash away
Resistance always conquer despair
As everyone leaves I still stay
As everyone leaves I'm still right here

Do you have what it takes
to make a change
to reconsider
and to break new ground

I still choose my diet with comfort
Despite your efforts to drag me down
I heard those jokes a million times before
Try to make me look stupid but you are the clown
The joke's on you, man. You are the clown

ref

Dare you face the facts
Dare you face the truth




Of the slaughter house?
Go vegan!
