Broken

Yeah, the government stole your heart away And you can't fight back without a gun Yeah, you're broken and malfunctioning but I cannot help you Oh, you've reached what they call rock bottom Now you understand the metaphors Torn to 10,000 pieces, covered up like a conspiricy Shaken up until you can't think straight Can you take it Can you live through it Will you still be alive when rock comes back again Duck and cover You'll be safe 'till rock comes back again Yeah, the government stole your heart away And you can't fight back without a gun Yeah, you're broken and malfunctioning but I cannot help you Oh, you've reached what they call rock bottom Now you understand the metaphors You couldn't ever stand your ground Taken past normal expectations Standing through their support Falling only when you get kicked Obeying without thinking Breathing but not alive Taking everything to a deeper level Making so many more wannabes You'll never have a kick like this Even drugs can't get ya this high Yeah, you're broken and malfunctioning but I cannot help you Oh, you've reached what they call rock bottom Now you understand the metaphors Ripping up your old photo books The world abandoned us Written November 11th, 2001 © on Nov 16 2001 03:26 PM PST   20 • 0 • 1
