E
Broken lines broken strings
Broken threads broken springs
A
Broken idols broken heads
E
People sleeping in broken beds
B
Ain't no use jiving
A
Ain't no use joking
E
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.

Chorus:
B
Seem like every time you stop and turn around
A
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.

Everytime 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 is broken.
