Break the Line

 

 

Chorus: 

Break the line, break the line, ‘cause we’re running out of time

make them fight for every mile, make them fight for every dime

they’re building pipes over the water, every summer’s getting hotter

there’s no compromise, we gotta break the line

 

From the arctic to the Amazon’s a global climate war 

First Nations on the front line won’t take it anymore

Standing Rock was the beginning- if they want to build Line 3

Before they put it in the ground they’ll have to get through you and me

 

Chorus

 

My daddy was a Bolt Weevil, he fought the big CU

And made the towers crumble when the power line came through

He raised me right and proper, so I learned my lesson well

If you want to stop a line you’ve got to blow it straight to hell

 

chorus

 

From Duluth to the Red River, the crackdown’s being laid 

Northern Lights will be the iron fist for Enbridge’s crusade 

But North woods is our battle ground, the path ahead is clear

Let our bodies on the line become the spanner in the gears
