Broken Together
Sofa Surfers Lyrics

wide eyed wonderboys in the house of fine blame-tight pinstripes walk the beggar's mile knee deep, rising in a river of denial we're broken together
In this corrupt and unjust world, we are all just innocent people who are being wronged. We work hard and try to make it, however, we are stuck walking the same path as people who believe that they are better than us. Even though we are submerged in the sea of deceit, we feel the same pain and are struggling together.

carry on dividing counting on obliquity crushing hands and hopes under heel troubles under carpets as the water's coming in first to feel the growlers are the gallows in the galley
The rich and powerful continue to divide society, counting on people's confusion to gain more power. They are crushing the dreams and hopes of hardworking people and hiding their own problems from the public eye. They believe that they are safe from the consequences of their actions, but they will be the first to feel the effects of societal collapse.

cos we're broken together
Despite our differences, we all share the same pain and struggle in this world.

woke up and freaked cos you're in a firedamp can't fight your way out in too deep to decamp superimpositions of wealth and have not if you're our moral compasses we truly are lost
We suddenly realized our dire situation and panicked because we are stuck in a dangerous environment we cannot escape from. The rich continue to impose their wealth and power over us, and if they are meant to guide us by example, then our values and morals are truly in a state of chaos.

we had high hopes for g.i. joe waterboarding his own kid like a good sergeant texas hold'em underwater we're pointing a finger
We used to have faith in authority figures such as the military, but they have betrayed us by engaging in immoral acts such as torturing their own children. We are calling them out on their hypocrisy.

wide eyed wonderboys in a war fog bunkering banksters in a shrinking bubble friends are fair-weather when it rains you're in trouble but we're broken together
In the chaos of war and corrupted society, we are still innocent people who are struggling to cope. The rich continue to hide in their own little bubbles, but when the world collapses, they will be exposed. Only true friends will stick with us through thick and thin, and even though we're broken, we're in this together.

playing up the differences so change don't come there's no wind times they ain't achanging that much all suited up check your mask is in place hiding in plain sight but we can all see you faces
The powerful continue to exaggerate the differences between themselves and the rest of society to prevent true change from happening. They have no intention of changing and the status quo remains stagnant. They hide behind their suits and masks but we can see through their facade.
