Lady in albania works for 50 cents a day
Like her momma's momma did
And if she tried to leave they'd surely shoot her dead
Right here in my own backyard
There's a little boy who's face is scarred

'Cause that's what his own daddy said when that little boy was he
Break, break the circle
Break, break the circle
Break, break the circle
Break, break the circle
Mr. Smith he's never there

And the kids are busy playing with their precious things
Break, break the circle
Break, break the circle
Break, break the circle
Break, break the circle that binds us to our destiny

He said "I'll do what my daddy does
Stay at home in bed and get my money every month."
Break, break the circle
Break, break the circle
Break, break the circle
Break, break the circle that binds us to our destiny
