Not Supposed to Break Down
You're not supposed to be human
You're not supposed to really feel
Not supposed to get involved with
Anything completely real
Fifteen families starving
All around the corner block
Here we're standing so alone
Just like
Gibraltar rock
You're not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the dirt, keep listening to the hurt
You'll be safe and sound
Supposed to be super human
Cover everything
Just like a bird
Coverin' an egg
With its wing
And knowing there's nothing sacred
And what is the use?
No point trying to find
What is worth, what is true?
You're supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt, listen to the dirt
And you'll be safe and sound
You're not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt
Listen to the dirt
You'll be safe and sound
A fool and his mainline connection
Bypass going to the well
But that doesn't matter anyhow
I'm sure that we can tell
Who's a puppet on a string?
And who really holds the glove?
But it ain't up, you and me
It's up to the Lord above
You're not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt
Keep on listening to the dirt
And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
You're not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt
Listen to the dirt
I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
Bet you'll be safe and sound
You're not supposed to really feel
Not supposed to get involved with
Anything completely real
Fifteen families starving
All around the corner block
Here we're standing so alone
Just like
Gibraltar rock
You're not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the dirt, keep listening to the hurt
You'll be safe and sound
Supposed to be super human
Cover everything
Just like a bird
Coverin' an egg
With its wing
And knowing there's nothing sacred
And what is the use?
No point trying to find
What is worth, what is true?
You're supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt, listen to the dirt
And you'll be safe and sound
You're not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt
Listen to the dirt
You'll be safe and sound
A fool and his mainline connection
Bypass going to the well
But that doesn't matter anyhow
I'm sure that we can tell
Who's a puppet on a string?
And who really holds the glove?
But it ain't up, you and me
It's up to the Lord above
You're not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt
Keep on listening to the dirt
And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
You're not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt
Listen to the dirt
I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
Bet you'll be safe and sound
