Everything Is Broken

[Verse 1: Sheryl Crow]

Broken lines, broken strings

Broken threads, broken springs

Broken idols, broken heads

People sleeping in broken beds

Ain't no use jiving, ain't no use joking

Everything is broken

[Verse 2: Jason Isbell]

Broken bottles, broken plates

Broken switches, broken gates

Broken dishes, broken parts

Streets are filled with broken hearts

Broken words never meant to be spoken

Everything's broken

[Chorus 1: Sheryl Crow & Jason Isbell]

Seems like every time you stop and turn around

Something else just hits the ground

[Verse 3: Sheryl Crow, Jason Isbell, Both]

Broken cutters, broken saws

Broken buckles, broken laws

Broken bodies, broken bones

Broken voices on broken phones

Take a deep breath, feel like I'm chokin'

Everything is broken

[Verse 4: Sheryl Crow & Jason Isbell]

Broken hands on broken ploughs

Broken treaties, broken vows

Broken pipes, broken tools

People bending broken rules

Hound dog howling, bullfrog croaking

Everything's broken

[Chorus 2: Sheryl Crow and Jason Isbell]

Every time you leave and go off someplace

Things fall to pieces in my face

[Verse 5: Sheryl Crow & Jason Isbell]

Broken hands on broken ploughs

Broken treaties, broken vows

Broken pipes, broken tools

People bending broken rules

Hound dog howling, bullfrog croaking

Everything's broken

[Outro: Both, Jason Isbell, Sheryl Crow]

Everything's broken

Everything's broken

Everything's broken

Everything's broken

Broken, broken

It's all broke down

Everything you see's broken, broken

Everything's broken, everything's broken

Everything's broken

Everything's broken
