Broken

Broken

A simple man, with a simple plan
He’ll do what’s best for the leader of the band
Lie after lie, oh it makes me wanna cry
But I won’t be broken

Song after song, all come out wrong
What’s right is right, that’s why I can’t sing along
I know my part, comes straight from the heart
And I won’t be broken

We’re free falling, listen, love is calling
Another day, and the pain won’t go away
But I won’t be broken

I’ve heard this sung, since I was young
I know the words, and where it all comes from
My sense of pride, is dying deep inside
But I won’t be broken

We’re free falling, listen, love is calling
So hear me now, make this solemn vow
I won’t be broken

Raise up your hand if you give a damn
Maybe it’s time, that we break up this band
Hold each other tight, ‘til we see the light
‘cos we be broken

And when it’s time to take back what was yours and mine
This band will play once again in perfect time
Together will sing, let our freedom ring

We won’t be broken. We refuse to be broken
