Hawksley Workman - We’re Not Broken Yet lyrics

rate me

(verse)

Pull down your uniform

Check your face for stains

There is nothing more distracting

Than feeling strange

When the whole world's keeping secrets

About its aches and pains

And how all we've gotten used to

Feeling a little insane

And the newsman sheds a tear

And says, "Happens to your list of fears"

"We're not broken yet, except for trying"

"Just to fall in love" Oh, oh, no

(Chorus)

We're not broken yet, and we refuse to rest

Or to be swept under the rug

Oh, we ain't broken yet, no, we ain't broken

(Verse 2)

Put on your brave disguise

And saw the Tarja dreams

But there is nothing more distracting

Than knowing nothing is the way it seems

Oh, cuz Christ makes you a loser

In these killing years

We love our angry loaded white men

Slapping backs and sending up three cheers

And the newsman knows his place

It's his entertainment poker face

Did you just see a man on the ground

With the microphone, oh oh

My television is an open invite

Into my humble home, oh, hell

(Chorus)

We're not broken yet, we ain't broken

And don't you know, it would be easier

To do what you're told

And don't you know? It would be easier

To do what you're told

And don't you know? To stick with what you know

It would be easier

It would be easier now

(Bridge)

So stay to kiss with me

It ain't illegal yet

Drop yourself up in the comfort

Of your lover's wearing caress

And tho it will remain compliant

Or get down on our knees

And pray amongst the new wave

The monarchs, the brases, the bees

Oh, cuz they should get shrunk

And laugh it all of those pathetic folks

They try to muscle out

What's tender and ultimately born of love

(Chorus)

Oh, we're not broken yet, but we're trying

Just to be swept under a rug

Oh, we ain't broken yet

No, we ain't broken

Don't you know it would be easier

To do what you're told

And don't you know? It would be easier

To do what you're told

And don't you know? To stick with what you know

It would be easier

It would be easier now
