Broken Man Lyrics

We all need to gain the upper hand
An edge to do even better than we can
No one seemed to care when it brought back the fans
It's a broken record, strike up the band for the broken man

A crowd so loud and a son so very proud
The powers that be counting money, handing me a crown
Only now they decide that it's time to take a stand
It's a broken record, strike up the band for the broken man

You can say I cheated, prop me up defeated
Take a swing at me and the others, too, if you've got nothing better to do
There's a street not far away that's named after me
But my present and future is a gated community
Leave your past behind if you really want to understand
It's a broken record, strike up the band for the broken man
