I wonder if we'll smile in our coffins While loved ones mourn the day, The absence of our faces, Living, laughing, eyes awake Is this too much for them to take? Too young for one's conclusion, the lifestyle won Such values you taught your son That's how Look at me now I'm broken Inherit my life I'm broken One day we all will die, a cliched fact of life Force fed to make us heed Inbred to sponge our bleed Every warning, a leaking rubber, A poison apple for mingled blood Too young for one's delusion, the lifestyle cost Venereal Mother embrace the loss That's how Look at you now You're broken Inherit your life You're broken That's how Look at us now I'm broken Inherit my life I'm broken That's how Look at me now I'm broken (broken) I'm broken (broken) I'm broken (broken) I'm broke
