[Verse 1]

Broken lines, broken strings

Broken threads, broken springs

Broken idols, broken heads

People sleepin' in broken beds

Ain’t no use jivin'

Ain’t no use jokin'

Everything is broken

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Harmonica Solo]

Every time you leave and go off someplace

Things fall to pieces in my face

[Verse 4]

Broken hands on broken ploughs

Broken treaties, broken vows

Broken pipes, broken tools

People bendin' broken rules

Hound dog howling, bullfrog croakin'

Everything is broken
