Shattered Lyrics - Dropkick Murphys

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They've been replaced by steroid fed Neanderthals 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!
