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boys and girls Anorexic skinny monsters who seem to rule the world The ball players you loved as a kid are gone They've been replaced by steroid fed Neanderthals (Replaced by Neanderthals) Shattered, shattered, when people aren't always what they seem It turns out the lyrics that you live by are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 embarra**ed 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!
