[Verse 1]
Something's gone wrong with the world today
What's the matter with the human race?
Everybody's fighting for more power and money
Braveheart's a racist, the paperboy's a junkie
What's with the role models for all our boys and girls?
Anorexic skinny monsters who seem to rule the world
The ball players you loved as a kid are gone
They've been replaced by steroid-fed Neanderthals
Replaced by Neanderthals
[Chorus]
Shattered, shattered
When people aren't always what they seem
[Verse 2]
It turns out the lyrics that you live by are a fraud
When your favorite band's singer got arrested with a tranny on his knob
Meanwhile, little Danny down the block's all alone
He's been abused by the Parish priest
He's embarrassed and ashamed, thinks he disgraced the family name
He's gonna buy a gun and settle the score
Yeah, then who you gonna call, the local cop stalking girls down the mall
Or the world's greatest crooks from the FBI?
The crooks from the FBI
[Chorus]
Shattered, shattered
When people aren't always what they seem
Shattered, shattered
When the ones that we rely on break their word
[Chorus]
Shattered, shattered
When people aren't always what they seem
Shattered, shattered
When the ones that we rely on break their word
[Verse 3]
Dad's never home, he says he's working overtime
Meanwhile, Mommy's head's in the sand, she thinks everything is fine
She says "Now Dad's important kids, so stay out of his way"
But little did she know that the governor was gay
She didn't know that the governor was gay
[Chorus]
Shattered, shattered
When people aren't always what they seem
Shattered, shattered
When the ones that we rely on break their word
[Outro]
Shattered, shattered
Shattered, shattered
Shattered, shattered
When the ones that we rely on break their word
