The Law is a system of rules and guidelines which are enforced through social institutions to govern behavior. Laws are made by governments, specifically by their legislatures. The formation of laws themselves may be influenced by a constitution (written or unwritten) and the rights encoded therein. The law shapes politics, economics and society in countless ways and serves as a social mediator of relations between people.
A general distinction can be made between civil law jurisdictions (including Canon and Socialist law), in which the legislature or other central body codifies and consolidates their laws and common law systems (including Sharia), where judge-made binding precedents are accepted. In some countries, religion may inform the law; for example, in jurisdictions that practice Islamic law, Jewish law or Canon law.
The adjudication of the law is generally divided into two main areas. Criminal law deals with conduct that is designated dishonest by the government and in which the guilty party may be imprisioned or fined. Civil law (not to be confused with civil law jurisdictions above) deals with disputes between individuals or organizations, in which compensation may be awarded to the wronged litigant.
We’re broken down on our knees
Broken down for all to see
Broken down nowhere to go
Not a prayer
Not a hope
Not a prayer to ever know
What the sun feels like
What it is to be alive
1, 2, 3, Go!
We won’t live forever
We won’t take it anymore
And the silence will be broken
We won’t live forever
We won’t take it anymore
And the silence will be broken here once more
We’re broken down, price to pay
Broken down another day
Broken down a life on hold
Lost our minds
Torn apart
Can’t find a way to make this ours
Look into these eyes
Now it’s time we come alive
1, 2, 3, Go!
We won’t live forever
We won’t take it anymore
And the silence will be broken
We won’t live forever
We won’t take it anymore
And the silence will be broken here once more
We don’t know where we go
It’s still in our souls
Nowhere to turn to
When will we give in? Yeah!
We won’t live forever
We won’t take it anymore
And the silence will be broken
We won’t live forever
We won’t take it anymore
