Never Really Been Lyrics - Made To Be Broken - Soul Asylum

Sirens are a-screaming, shots ring out at night 

Movie cameras rolling in 

And there goes my hero with his head between his legs 

And all this time I believed in him 

Now, what is the sound of snow falling down 

On the tombstone in the dead of the night? 

And who is the hound at the downtown dog pound 

Who speaks English when the watchman's not in sight? 

And where will you be in 1993? 

Still sitting in the same chair 

Sinning is for sinners and I'm just a beginner 

But I've never really been, been touched there 

Hey, ain't it strange how some things never change? 

Ain't it strange how nothing stays the same? 

You were thinkin' I was distressed about some universe oppressed 

But I was just depressed about my last pinball game 

I've learned to accept and not to expect 

The respect and neglect that I get 

I've tried not to forget about what haven't happened yet 

And on this I place my last bet 

Hey, did you give what you get 

Did you get what you give of your [Incomprehensible] 

Winning is for winners and I know spring follows winter 

But I've never really been touched there 

You know it's hard to be nice when hate becomes your vice 

And you can't find peace anywhere 

Love's just not for lovers, get off your high horse brother 

Drop your fist and get out of here
