The Brakes Songtext

von Agnes

We're driving 90 miles an hour
I think it's gone too far
And I don't see any light
At the end of the road

And all the windows are coming down
Let it go
No one's around right now

But it's all right
Because shock value has become
The motto of this western media
Offend as many people as possible
That's the latest fetish
But the people are getting numb
They need more
They want more
Because being turned on is worth as much as money in the bank

How far can we go
You never can stop us now
Let's push harder
How far can we go
Nothing can stop us now
I think we lost the brakes

And now the radio is on
It plays the latest song
Give me something to believe
Something fake, something cheap
We are so easily misled
It's our freedom
We've lost all self-control instead
It's our selfishness that's fed

The money's burning
Now that they're learning,
What can be mentioned
To keep our attention

How far can we go
Nothing can stop us now
I think we lost the brakes

I think we lost the brakes
We push as much as it takes
Although it alienates
Look at the money it makes

Can't stop, we forgot how
We've lost all restraint now
Pushing harder, pressing down
Brand new borders, to be crossed in time

All we need is something we can
Leave behind if only keep our souls
The brakes are gone, put seat belts on,
Though nothing can save us now
