Lyrics

Broken Homes

Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes

Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
We lose our voice more each year
Maybe we won't breathe soon
Is there cancer in the throat, no stress
Maybe its supposed to kill the success?
Because success needs killing
Murder is media
Forced laugh, Forged autograph
First my body, now my corpse

Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
Life is pain, Murder is fame
And if you're famous you might get acquitted, if you did it

There's nowhere to run away
Damn you, I hope you pay
And finish the day-to-day
The games we play

Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
I'm a stay-at-home
And talk on the telephone
'Cause nothing in this world I want from you
Don't fool yourself, I won't cry
Too scared to live
Too quick to die

Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes

Don't know how to build stable homes
Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes

Stable Homes
(Those men will) break your bones
Stable homes
(Those men will) break your bones
Stable homes
(Those men will) break your bones
Stable homes
