The Boxmasters 69'





Broken from the start

(Billy Bob Thornton/JD Andrew)

I can read anything but writing on the wall
I always hit the ground before I fall
I learn less when I investigate
The wolf waits at the door while I'm closing the gate

I throw a rock and it just rolls
I ring a bell that never tolls

I was broken from the start
Just dumb enough to have a heart
I've never known when to depart
From a course I couldn't chart
I was broken from the start
Thinking life could be like art
But visions fall apart
When you're broken
When you're broken from the start

If I surrendered I'd get locked out of jail
I've even been scammed in a fairy tale
If I've stuck up strangers somehow I get rolled
I've laid out my hand and the dealer called fold

I throw a rock and it just rolls
I ring a bell that never tolls

I was broken from the start
Just dumb enough to have a heart
I've never known when to depart
From a course I couldn't chart
I was broken from the start
Thinking life could be like art
But visions fall apart
When you're broken
When you're broken from the start

I was broken from the start
Just dumb enough to have a heart
I've never known when to depart
From a course I couldn't chart
I was broken from the start
Thinking life could be like art
But visions fall apart
I was broken from the start
