United Breaks Guitars Lyrics - Dave Carroll

I flew United Airlines on my way to Nebraska 

The plane departed, Halifax, connecting in Chicago's "O'Hare". 

While on the ground, a passenger said from the seat behind me, 

"My God, they're throwing guitars out there" 

The band and I exchanged a look, best described as terror 

At the action on the tarmac, and knowing whose projectiles these would be 

So before I left Chicago, I alerted three employees 

Who showed complete indifference towards me 

United... 

(United...) 

You broke my Taylor Guitar 

United... 

(United...) 

Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it 

You're liable, just admit it 

I should've flown with someone else 

Or gone by car 

'Cause United breaks guitars. 

When we landed in Nebraska, I confirmed what I'd suspected 

My Taylor'd been the victim of a vicious act of malice at O'Hare 

So began a year long saga, of "Pass the buck", "Don't ask me", and "I'm sorry, sir, your claim can go no where". 

So to all the airlines people, from New York to New Deli 

Including kind Ms. Irlweg, who says the final word from them is "no". 

I heard all your excuses, 

And I've chased your wild gooses 

And this attitude of yours, I say, must go 

United... 

(United...) 

You broke my Taylor Guitar 

United... 

(United...) 

Some big help you are

You broke it, you should fix it 

You're liable, just admit it 

I should've flown with someone else 

Or gone by car 

'Cause United breaks guitars. 

Well, I won't say that I'll never fly with you again, 

'Cause, maybe, to save the world, I probably would, 

But that won't likely happen, 

And if it did, I wouldn't bring my luggage 

'Cause you'd just go and break it, 

Into a thousand pieces, 

Just like you broke my heart 

When United breaks guitars. 

United... 

(United...) 

You broke my Taylor Guitar 

United... 

(United...) 

Some big help you are 

You broke it, you should fix it 

You're liable, just admit it 

I should've flown with someone else 

Or gone by car 

'Cause United breaks guitars. 

Yeah, United breaks guitars. 

Yeah, United breaks guitars.
