Lyrics

Broken

You don't know the trouble you're in

Living in paradise, living in sin

You better watch out, baby

One of these days

Another man coming

Gonna change your ways

Broken, broken

Truth must be spoken

Can we be responsible?

Is someone keeping score?

Broken, broken

When all guns are smoking

Do you want to die then

According to the law?

Sunshine, moonshine, fire and flood

Death comes hungry

To your neighbourhood

You better watch out, baby, one of these nights

Somebody coming

To shoot out your lights

Broken, broken

Lies will be spoken

Must we be expendable?

Is that what we are for?

Broken, broken

When all doors are closing

Shall we say goodbye then

According to the law?

You better move, baby, cut and run

Better get back to

Where you come from

You better watch out, baby, stay in line

You're gonna lose out to a life of crime

Broken, broken

Swear I ain't joking

Is nothing sacred?

No lovers anymore

Broken, broken

When virgins are chosen

Then who will choose you

According to the law?

Broken, broken

Truth must be spoken

Too late to be virgins

Too early to be whores

Broken, broken

When all guns are smoking

Then you must be silent

According to the law
