LYRICS:
Broken nights, broken days Broken branches on broken trees Broken treaties, broken vows Mmm broken hands on broken ploughs Ain’t no use jiving, ain’t no use joking Everything is broken Broken lives hanging by a thread Broken bones in a broken bed Broken mirror, broken chair Broken roads ain’t going nowhere Broken words never meant to be spoken Everything is broken Seem like every time I stop and turn around Something else just hits the ground Broken clock on a broken wall Broken voices down a broken hall Broken beginnings, broken ends Streets are filled with my broken friends Take a deep breath, feel like your choking Everything is broken I ain’t joking Saw James Dean in a picture once, coming in from the cold I said gee, I hope I look that good when I get that old Broken glass on a broken floor Broken key in a broken door Broken idols, broken heroes Broken finances that end up zeros Hound dog howling, bull dog croaking Broken spirits, ha everything is broken Everything is broken Everything is broken Oh-i-neaw I ain’t joking Everything is broken |
I was in Norway when I first heard "Everything Is Broken". It seemed to me to be a perspective on the world and the hard knocks most of us take as we pass through it. But now, after the surgery, it seemed even more personal. My heart was broken, my career was broken, my throat often felt broken as I tried to sing.
