Broken lines, broken strings
Broken threads, broken springs
Broken idols, broken heads
People sleeping in broken beds

Ain't no use jiving
Ain't no use joking

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

Seem like every time you stop and turn around
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

Every time 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, bull frog croaking

Everything is broken
