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
