Broken Down in Broken Town
Lyrics
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 children's ward, 1994, 1994
Life's to short for a life support
That's broken down
In broken town where nothing ever works
Misspent 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
