There's broken dishes on the floor
And down the hall and through the door
The shades are pulled, the room is dark
While everything falls apart

Cracks in the ceiling, cracks in the floor
There's a picture covers a hole
Put in the wall a week ago
Covered up so nobody knows

Chorus:
Everything is broken
Little pieces on the floor
Everything is broken
Nothing works 'round here no more

Broken windows let in the wind
Broken locks let strangers in
Broken door won't even close
Broken for how long, nobody knows

The hinge is rusted on the gate
For mending fences it's too late
Broken link in the chain
Won't ever be the same again

Chorus

A broken promise, a broken vow
I guess you must've forgotten how
To keep the faith, to keep your word
One day you'll get what you deserve

Chorus
