Not Supposed To Break Down Lyrics - The Philosopher's Stone - Van Morrison

You're not supposed to be human 

You're not supposed to really feel 

Not supposed to get involved with 

Anything completely real 

Fifteen families starving 

All around the corner block 

Here we're standing so alone 

Just like Gibraltar rock 

Not supposed to break down 

You're not supposed to break down 

Swallow the dirt, keep listening to the hurt 

You'll be safe and sound 

Supposed to be super human 

Cover everything 

Just like a bird 

Cover an egg with its wing

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And knowing there's nothing sacred 

And what is the use 

No point trying to find 

What is worth, what is true 

Not supposed to break down 

You're not supposed to break down 

Swallow the hurt, listen to the dirt 

And you'll be safe and sound 

You're not supposed to break down 

You're not supposed to break down 

Swallow the hurt, listen to the dirt 

You'll be safe and sound 

A fool and his mainline connection 

Bypass going to the well 

But that doesn't matter anymore 

I'm sure that we can tell 

Who's a puppet on a string 

An who really holds the glove 

But it ain't up, you and me 

It's up to the Lord above 

You're not supposed to break down 

You're not supposed to break down 

Swallow the hurt, keep on listening to the dirt 

And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound 

You're not supposed to break down 

You're not supposed to break down 

Swallow the hurt, listen to the dirt 

I'll bet you'll be safe and sound 

And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound 

And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound 

Bet you'll be safe and sound
