E Broken lines broken strings Broken threads broken springs A Broken idols broken heads E People sleeping in broken beds B Ain't no use jiving A Ain't no use joking E Everything is broken. Broken bottles broken plates Broken switches broken gates Broken dishes broken parts Streets are filled with broken hearts Broken words never meant to be spoken Everything is broken.
B Seem like every time you stop and turn around A Something else just hit the ground
Broken cutters broken saws Broken buckles broken laws Broken bodies broken bones Broken voices on broken phones Take a deep breath feel like you're chokin' Everything is broken. Everytime you leave and go off someplace Things fall to pieces in my face Broken hands on broken ploughs Broken treaties broken vows Broken pipes broken tools People bending broken rules Hound dog howling bullfrog croaking Everything is broken.
