Broken lines, broken strings, broken threads, broken springs   Broken idols, broken heads, people sleeping in broken beds   Ain't no use jivin', ain't no use jokin', everything is broken      Broken bottles, broken plates, broken switches, broken gates   Broken dishes, broken parts, streets are filled with broken hearts   Broken words are never meant to be spoken, everything is broken      Seems like every time you stop and turn around   Someone else has 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 some place   Things fall to pieces in my face      Broken hands on broken plows, broken treaties, broken vows   Broken pipes, broken tools, people bending broken rules   Hound dog howlin', bullfrog croakin', everything is broken
