The Swiss Guard - Broken Things Lyrics

The world is full of broken things
Standing up with tape and strings
Heads for thinking hearts of gold
Never do quite what we're told
Dreaming dreams that never will
Come to life but try it still
Hold them close and keep them near
We'll never get it right I fear
Arms and hands
Are destined for surrender
Though we stand in pride
With the wars we planned
The things that get remembered
And what gets tossed aside
At least we'll say we tried
Campaign on promises to make
The best of all our worst mistakes
While champagne toasts and dirty deals
Keep spilling grease on all the wheels
Arms and hands
Are destined for surrender
Though we stand in pride
With the wars we planned
The things that get remembered
And what gets tossed aside
At least we'll say we tried

The world is full of broken things
Standing up with tape and strings
Heads for thinking hearts of gold
Never do quite what we're told
Dreaming dreams that never will
Come to life but try it still
Hold them close and keep them near
We'll never get it right I fear
Arms and hands
Are destined for surrender
Though we stand in pride
With the wars we planned
The things that get remembered
And what gets tossed aside
At least we'll say we tried
Campaign on promises to make
The best of all our worst mistakes
While champagne toasts and dirty deals
Keep spilling grease on all the wheels
Arms and hands
Are destined for surrender
Though we stand in pride
With the wars we planned
The things that get remembered
And what gets tossed aside
At least we'll say we tried
