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 gets 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 childrens ward,\\
1994\\
1994\\
Life's too 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 break away\\
But I know I'll never leave\\
And so I guess I'll stay...Forever\\
Broken Down, In Broken Town.\\
