We're Not Broken Yet

Put on your uniform
Check your face for stains
There is nothing more distracting
Than feeling strange
When the whole world's keeping secrets
About it's aches and pains
And how we've all just grown used to
Feeling a little insane

And a news man sheds a tear
And says "add this to your list of fears"
We ain't broken yet
Except for trying just to fall in love
No we ain't broken yet
And we refuse to rest
Or to be swept under the rug
We ain't broken yet
No we ain't broken.

Put on your brave disguise
Sabotage your dreams
There is nothing more distracting
Than knowing nothing's the way it seems
Oh cuz Christ makes you a loser in these killing years
We love our angry, loathed white men
Slapping backs and sending up three cheers

And a news man knows his place
It's his entertainment poker face
"Did you just see our man on the ground with a microphone?"
My television's your open invite
Into my humble home
We ain't broken yet
No we ain't broken

Don't you know
It would be easier to do what you're told
Don't you know
To stick with what you know

So steel a kiss with me
It ain't illegal yet
To wrap yourself up in the comfort
Of your lover's willing caress
Oh and we'll remain compliant
We'll get down on our knees
And pray among the milkweed
The monarchs the grasses the bees

Oh cuz nature gives a shrug
And laughs at all of those pathetic thugs
Who try to muscle out
What's tender
And ultimately born of love

We ain't broken
Except for trying
Not to be swept under the rug
No we ain't broken yet

Don't you know
It would be easier to do what you're told
Don't you know
To stick with what you know
