Not Supposed to Break Down

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

You're 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

Coverin' an egg

With its wing

And knowing there's nothing sacred

And what is the use?

No point trying to find

What is worth, what is true?

You're 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 anyhow

I'm sure that we can tell

Who's a puppet on a string?

And 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
