Dropkick Murphys - Shattered Lyrics

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, yeah

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They've been replaced by steroid fed Neanderthals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 his job

Meanwhile little Danny
Down the block's all alone
He's been abused by the Parish priest

He's embarrassed and ashamed
Thinks he disgraced the family name
He's gonna buy a gun and settle the score

Yeah, 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 overtime
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
Shattered, shattered
Shattered, shattered
When the ones that we rely on break their word
