D7
Broken lines, broken strings, broken threads, broken springs
G7 D7
Broken idols, broken heads, people sleeping in broken beds
A7 G7
Ain't no use jivin', ain't no use jokin'
D7
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
D7
Seems like every time you stop and turn around
G7
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'
Everything is broken
D7
Every time you leave and go off some place
G7
Things fall to pieces in my face
Broken hands on broken plows, broken treaties, broken vows
Broken pipes, broken tools, people bending broken rules
Hound dog howlin', bullfrog croakin'
Everything is broken
(from Oh Mercy!, 1989)
