I'm breaking up with common sense cuz I'm trying to lose my mind If you pick me up when you get around to it, then you're a friend of mine Cuz half of me is trying to start a little revolution The other half is just trying to get by Everywhere I look another piece of U.S. is scattered on the ground And I'm an open book, but I tore the pages out where your name was found Broken hearts in America Brokenhearted in America I wanna live in America Broken hearted in America It's not you it's me she said, and left my friends for dead Went to hide behind another man Oh my lady my liberty you trade my hope for currency And you left your money on the bed I was trying to settle down and leave the city You were trying to settle up and leave me dry Everywhere I look another piece of U.S. is scattered on the ground And I'm an open book, but I tore the pages out where your name was found Broken hearts in America Brokenhearted in America I wanna live in America Broken hearted in America
