Dropkick Murphys - Shattered lyrics

Something's gone wrong with the world today

What's the matter with the human race

Everybody's fighting for more power and money

Braveheart's a racist

The paperboy's a junkie

And what's with the role models for all our boys and girls

Anorexic skinny monsters who seem to rule the world

The ball players you loved as a kid are gone

They've been replaced by steroid fed Neanderthals

(Replaced by Neanderthals)

Shattered, shattered, when people aren't always what they seem

It turns out the lyrics that you live by are a fraud

When your favorite band's singer got arrested

With a tranny on the job

Meanwhile little Danny down the block's all alone

He's been abused by the Parish priest

He'd embarrassed and ashamed

Thinks he disgraced the family name

He's gonna buy a gun and settle the score

Then who you're gonna call

the local cop stalking girls down the mall

Or the world's greatest crooks from the FBI

(The crooks from the FBI)

Shattered, shattered, when people aren't always what they seem

Shattered, shattered, when the ones that we rely on break their word

Shattered, shattered, when people aren't always what they seem

Shattered, shattered, when the ones that we rely on break their word

Dad's never home, he says he's working over time

Meanwhile Mommy's head's in the sand she thinks everything is fine

She says "Now Dad's important kids, so stay out of his way"

But little did she know that the governor was gay

(She didn't know that the governor was gay)

Shattered, shattered, when people aren't always what they seem

Shattered, shattered, when the ones that we rely on break their word

Shattered! Shattered! Whoa!

Shattered! Shattered! Whoa!

Shattered! Shattered!

When the ones that we rely on break their word!
