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's broken

Seems like every time you stop and turn around
Something else just hits 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 I'm choking
Everything is broken

Broken hands on broken ploughs
Broken treaties, broken vows
Broken pipes, broken tools
People bending, broken rules
Hound dog howling, bullfrog croaking
Everything's 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, bullfrog croaking
Everything's broken

Everything's broken
Everything's broken
Everything's broken
Everything's broken
Broken, broken
It's all broke down
Everything you see's broken, broken
Everything's broken, everything's broken
Everything's broken
Everything's broken
