Everything's Broken
We all have high hopes
As we step on the wagon
With the band playing
Grab the tail of the dragon
Not really knowing
What we are needing
Where we are going
When we are leaving
Just when we get there, hoping
Not everything's broken
Tripping the light
Of the fandango
What's the big fuss
Why can't we let go
Paying the fair
On what should be free
Instead mostly care
You about you and me about me
This far into game I was hoping
Everything wasn't broken
Used to we'd all
Come up to the line
The same one we've learned
To step over in time
No matter which side
We all take a beating
With nowhere to hide
In our time of grieving
Either direction, coming or going
Seems these days, everything's broken
