Broken Down in Broken Town

click Here for lyrics and chords



Broken Down, In Broken Town
Call the lifeguard, 
To watch me drown
Send the boys around
I'm Broken down
In Broken Town.

My CV, 
Says I watch TV.
I haven't worked, 
Since 1993
Send the boys for me
I'm broken down
In Broken Town

In Broken Town, 
Where nothing ever works,
It get's into your veins 
And stains your shirts
Blinds your ambition 
And kicks it to death
Tunnels into your vision, 
Till nothing is left

Child overboard, 
Child ignored
In a childerens ward, 
1994
1994
Life's to short, 
For a life support.
That's broken down, 

In broken town, 
Where nothing ever works
Mispent youth on the roof of a church.
Your birthdays are belated
Your toys are dead
Board, frustrated and poisoned with lead

I don't want to stagger into mental health
Following a shadow of my former self
If only I believed that I could brerak away 
But I know I'll never leave 
And so I guess I'll stay...Forever
Broken Down,In Broken Town.

Broken Down,In Broken Town.
