Текст песни Everything Is Broken - Bettye LaVette

Broken lines, broken strings
Broken threads and broken springs
Broken idols, broken heads
People sleeping around in broken beds
Ain't no use jiving
Ain't no use in joking
Look around you
Everything is broken

Broken bottles and them broken plates
Broken switches and them broken gates
Broken dishes and them broken parts
The streets are filling up with all those broken hearts
Broken words never meant to be spoken
Everything is broken

Every time you stop and look around
Something else just hit the ground loud

Every time you leave and go up some place
There is all the pieces right in front of your face, we got them

Broken cutters and then them broken saws
We got them broken buckles, and then them broken laws
We got those broken bodies and those broken bones, we got
Broken voices singing broken songs
Take a deep breath, do you feel like you're choking?
That's 'cause all is a little fucked up and
Everything is broken, Lord
Broken, Lord, broken, Lord, Lord
Everything, everything is broken
