Yeah, broken lives, 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'
Yeah, everything is broken

Broken bottles, broken legs
Broken switches, broken gates
Broken dishes, broken parts
The streets are filled with broken hearts
Broken words, never meant to be spoken
Oh, everything is broken

It seems like every time I stop and turn around
Something 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'
Hey, everything is broken

[Instrumental Bridge]
Yeah, every time you leave and go off someplace
Things fall to pieces in my face

Broken hands, broken ploughs
Broken treaties and broken vows
Broken pipes, broken tools
People bending broken rules
Hound dog howlin', bull frog croakin'
Hey, everything is broken

Everything is broken
Everything is broken
Everything is broken
Whoa-oh, oh yeah, oh
Yeah, everything is broken
