Broken
Bad Religion
Broken (Original Version)
She said, thanks but I'm broken
I guess you must have misspoken
What a laugh I've never been chosen by anyone
She was barely a teen
Hanging out in-between
Just a part of the scene
With mercurial smile
And incurable style
She was only a dream
How's that, he didn't know a thing about
Making love to the kind of girl you read about
He said I'm bound to be broken
My Daddy bet that I'd amount to nothing
He won't let anybody show him anything
He was a troubled child
Had been down for a while
Always kept to himself
Though she couldn't defend
He only wanted a friend
Now he's made something else
It's so sad, no one saw it coming
The paper said that he hit the ground running
Oh yeah I know I'm not broken
A little cracked but still I'm not broken
I wanna laugh but I think that I'm choking on reality
When the world is turning for you don't turn on me
Who are you here to repair, well I don't know what you mean
You could never resist, glorifying despair
Well now it's coming to you and I don't really care
Well I'm not the kind to insist
You couldn't have missed
We must co-exist
So please listen to me
There is no such thing as human debris
Oh yeah I know I'm not broken
A little cracked but Dad I'm not so nothing
I wanna laugh, I'm not joking
I'm unbroken (oh yeah, I said I'm unbroken)
I said I'm unbroken (a little cracked but still not broken)
I'm really not broken (I'm not broken)
