Songs About / On: BROKEN

[VERSE:]
When we first met, it seemed so right
Me and you
We had it all, we had it made
What we had was true

But the years have passed, and we didn't last
The test of time
See you now and then, thought you were my friend
That was wrong this time

[CHORUS:]
Breaking, breaking, she's breaking down
Breaking, breaking, she's breaking down
Breaking, breaking, she's breaking down
Breaking, breaking

[VERSE:]
You've lost your sense of stability
Now that you're free
No memory of yesterday's
What you say to me

So you're so jaded but intoxicated
Is all you feel
And now I've learned that what we had
Was never real

[CHORUS:]
Breaking, breaking, she's breaking down
Breaking, breaking, she's breaking down
Breaking, breaking, she's breaking down
Breaking, breaking, she's breaking down
Breaking down
She's breaking down

[VERSE:]
The things you've done show you don't care
So I won't be there

[CHORUS:]
Breaking, breaking, she's breaking down
Breaking, breaking, she's breaking down
Breaking, breaking, she's breaking down
(Breaking down)
Breaking, breaking, she's breaking down
(Breaking down)
She's broken down

Broken lines, 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’
Everything is broken read more »

There I was completely wasting, out of work and down
All inside it’s so frustrating as I drift from town to town
Feel as though nobody cares if I live or die
So I might as well begin to put some action in my life read more »

My fears hunt me down
Capturing my memories
The frontier of loss
They try to escape across the street where
Jesus stripped bare
And raped the spirit he was supposed to nurture
In the name of my
In the name of my read more »

Trying to find a way to fight the pain
But it seems, there's no way around it
Reaching for the sun and finding rain
I melt, I'll always be grounded
so much I have brought upon my self
Can't, believe that I'm still here
Looking for a place you know so well
You see, it never resisted
I will break you
I will break you
I will break you
I will break you
break you
break
All this time, I reall though you knew
The game was not meant for winning
explination for the things I do
No, but I'm constanly grinning
I will break you
I will break you
I will break you
I will break you
I will break you
Could you ever recognize this pain
You see, it's so far from over
I don't guess you'll never be the same
You know I'm choking on knowledge
I will break you
I will break you
I will break you
I will break you
I will break you
I will break you
I will break you
I will break you
I will break you
I will break you
I will break you
I will break you

How many mountains can you climb
how many poems do not rhyme
how many night times in a day
how many miles are you away
Well, I've got to know now 'cause it came to me read more »

Where in the world Where in the world
Where in the world did I get this hurt
I don't mind, I don't mind
If you call me bad, call me wrong
Call me anything but your own
I don't mind, I don't mind read more »

Proven patterns breaking down
All controls gone underground
We should have never come to this
Yet here we stand
Devoid of optimists

The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down
We set the wheels in motion
Now we're caught in the commotion
The machine's breaking down

Lebanon, Iraq, Iran
Ethiopia and Afghanistan
Religion and politics, plunder and rape
While the weak cow down
And pray for escape

The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down
We set the wheels in motion
Now we're caught in the commotion
The machine's breaking down

Addicts bent on self-destruction
A billion dollars for the masters of seduction
Despair and hope go hand in hand
Charting the inevitable course of man
Bloody images bounce off the wall
As the satellite pictures tell it all
While common goals and common ground
Disappear as the world breaks down

The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down
We set the wheels in motion
Now we're caught in the commotion
The machine's breaking down

The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down
The machine's breaking down
