Broken

A chain that’s fallen off
A gear that’s lined up wrong
A belt that’s all worn out
A broken come-along

A four-by at the carwash stuck
Something round here really sucks
A bay that doesn’t give a truck
A babe that doesn’t give two trucks

I’ll try to oil that squeaky wheel
And lighten up the load, you see
I’ll try to tell you how I feel
And somehow get you back to me
