The Rebel Black Dot Song o' Yesterday: SKAfter Party


The Interrupters, "Broken World" from Fight the Good Fight (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary: This is so much more the Gospel message than so many of the vague love songs one hears on "Christian radio."
"It's hard livin’ (in a broken world),
Too much division (in a broken world),
Nobody listens (in a broken world),
We’re on a mission, I wanna know:

"When it’s dark as a dungeon can you be a light?
Can you bring peace in the middle of a fight?
When you see separation can you unite?
And when you see ‘em doing wrong can you do what’s right?

"From the bottom of our hearts, to the top of our lungs,
We’re crying out for unity, and the battle’s just begun,
Let love be your foundation, let wisdom be your guide,
'Til the problems that we’re facing, can no longer divide
A broken world!

"It's hard livin’ (in a broken world),
Too much division (in a broken world),
Nobody listens (in a broken world),
We’re on a mission, I wanna know:

"If your enemy was drowning would you pull him to shore?
If a stranger was starving would you open your door?
Are there any revolutionaries here anymore?
And what you gonna be remembered for?

"From the bottom of our hearts, to the top of our lungs,
We’re crying out for unity, and the battle’s just begun,
Let love be your foundation, let wisdom be your guide,
'Til the problems that we’re facing, can no longer divide
A broken world!"

"From the bottom of our hearts, to the top of our lungs,
We’re crying out for unity, and the battle’s just begun,
Let love be your foundation, let wisdom be your guide,
'Til the problems that we’re facing, can no longer divide
A broken world!

"A broken world!"
