Yeah,
Broken lives, broken strings
Broken threads, broken springs,
Broken idols, broken heads,
People sleeping, in broken beds.
Ain't no use jivin'
Ain't no use jokin'
Yeah, everything is broken.
Broken bottles, broken legs,
Broken switches, broken gates,
Broken dishes, broken parts,
The streets are filled, with broken hearts.
Broken words, never meant to be spoken,
Ohh - everything is broken.
It seems like every time I stop and - turn around
Something else has just - hit the ground
Broken cutters, broken saws,
Broken buckles, broken laws,
Broken bodies, broken bones,
Broken voices, on broken phones
Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin',
Hey everything is broken.
(Instrumental Bridge}
Yeah every time you leave and go off someplace
Things fall to pieces, in my face
Broken hands, on broken ploughs,
Broken treaties, and broken vows,
Broken pipes, broken tools,
People bending, broken rules.
Hound dog howlin', bull frog croakin'
Hey everything is broken.
Everything is broken.
Everything is broken.
Everything is broken...
Broken lives, broken strings
Broken threads, broken springs,
Broken idols, broken heads,
People sleeping, in broken beds.
Ain't no use jivin'
Ain't no use jokin'
Yeah, everything is broken.
Broken bottles, broken legs,
Broken switches, broken gates,
Broken dishes, broken parts,
The streets are filled, with broken hearts.
Broken words, never meant to be spoken,
Ohh - everything is broken.
It seems like every time I stop and - turn around
Something else has just - hit the ground
Broken cutters, broken saws,
Broken buckles, broken laws,
Broken bodies, broken bones,
Broken voices, on broken phones
Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin',
Hey everything is broken.
(Instrumental Bridge}
Yeah every time you leave and go off someplace
Things fall to pieces, in my face
Broken hands, on broken ploughs,
Broken treaties, and broken vows,
Broken pipes, broken tools,
People bending, broken rules.
Hound dog howlin', bull frog croakin'
Hey everything is broken.
Everything is broken.
Everything is broken.
Everything is broken...

i agree!
Reminds me of Hank Williams, Jr. singin\' the \"Monday Night Football\" theme.
Great to hear some blues on here! Living in Austin, I\'ve definitely become used to hearing electric blues. Only problem is, the Austin radios don\'t play non-Austin blues, like Shepherd and Lang. Thanks Bill! 
I love the energy in KWS's version!! Gets my toes tappin' every single time!! :D
KWS is usually accused of being a SRV clone and I can see why. But I don\'t really care as long as he makes music that sounds good. I like some KWS every now and then. I enjoy this version of \"broken\".
Just doesn\'t cut it. Stick to Dylans version.

That's okay Johray63, at least you realized it sounded like Dylan to begin with. I agree with you - with Kenny and Jonny Lang, we got some major blues going on for years to come. Who says you have to be old to play the blues? 
:oops:, just found out, it IS a Dylan song!
Still such a young guy! The future of blues(rock) music, is pretty much guarenteed, with someone like him. A bit \'Dylanesque\', this song.
