Made To Be Broken

Soul Asylum Made To Be Broken Lyrics
1.Ain't That Tough

A sweet scent of discontent rising in the air
You don't get old you just get passive and then you stand and
stare
Hey nobody's keeping you from stopping
Like a bulb without a socket your finger trigger's itching but
you forgot to cock it

And things didn't turn out the way you thought they would be
No you can't take that out on me
If you can find a better way then i ain't standing in your way

I'm fed up with holding out i called your bluff now let it out
You were thinking you were never never never enough it ain't bad
luck it's just that you ain't that tough

Ain't that tough ain't that tough

A graveyard of bottles and a ??
If you're so brave why's a .45 hang from your hips
Nobody's keeping you from stopping
You're always threatening to kill yourself well why don't you
just do it right here, right now

I didn't turn out the way you thought i would be
No you can't take that out on me
I thought i was talking to someone else i guess i was talking to
myself

I'm fed up with holding out i called your bluff now let it out
You were thinking you were never never never enough it ain't bad
luck it's just you ain't that tough

Last time i saw you you were talking just like me
Now you're talking like some hollywood actress, what the hell's
that supposed to mean?

You ain't that tough you ain't that tough ...


2.Another World, Another Day


3.Can't Go Back

The aim of my time is to fill up my mind
And when it gets too full i forget
Now if i'm late and i'm making you wait
Then there ain't one thing around that's even funny

Seein' things clearly and i thank you so dearly
Everything's so true to life when you're not living
When it's all a drag that's when you give it all the way
Put it all in bags, just call it charity

You just can't go back
You just can't go back
Everybody's going their own way
Each one is gonna make his day
It's more than amusement now
You're just killing time

(just killing time) you just can't go back
(just killing time) you just can't go back
(just killing time) you just can't go back

Fifteen years later caught in time's incinerator
Yesterday's worries are today's
But the good times are so near just sitting back and drinking
beer
You know i'm halfway down the road but i know that i still ain't
there

Seeing things clearly i thank you so dearly
Everything's so true to life when you're not living
When it's all a drag that's when you give it all the way
Put it all in bags, just call it charity

You just can't go back
(just killing time) you just can't go back
Everybody's going their own way
Each one is gonna make his day
It's more than amusement now
You're just killing time

7.Long Way Home


8.Made To Be Broken

Guess i'll be leaving in the morning
By the chill that you gave me i will ride
I will tear out my insides just to find a place to hide
And i don't want to hurt you anymore

You got the dagger but i got the revolver
As we rolled and we tumbled to the floor
I been ?? is it just these drugs i'm feelin'?
And i don't want to lie to you no more

??
?? till the end
A guitar's a man's best friend
But these rules were meant to be broken

?? make myself uneasy
And i haven't got the guts to make you cry
?? to one thing ?? do something
And i don't want to hurt you anymore

Now with this advice i will end
??
Some things are meant to be spoken
And these rules are meant to be broken


9.Never Really Been

Sirens are a-screaming, shots ring out at night
Movie cameras rolling in
And there goes my hero with his head between his legs
And all this time i believed in him

Now, what is the sound of snow falling down
On the tombstone in the dead of the night?
And who is the hound at the downtown dog pound
Who speaks english when the watchman's not in sight?

And where will you be in 1993?
Still sitting in the same chair
Sinning is for sinners and i'm just a beginner
But i've never really been touched there

Hey ain't it strange how some things never change
Ain't it strange how nothing stays the same?
You were thinkin' i was distressed about some universe oppressed
But i was just depressed about my last pinball game

I've learned to accept and not to expect
The respect and neglect that i get
I've tried not to forget about what hasn't happened yet
And on this i place my last bet

Hey did you give what you get
Did you get what you give?
Of your ??
Winning is for winners
And i know spring follows winter
But i've never really been touched there

You know it's hard to be nice when hate becomes your vice
And you can't find peace anywhere
Love's just not for lovers
Get off your high horse brother
Drop your fist and get out of here


10.New Feelings


11.Ship Of Fools

Shipwreck sailors searching for some fools gold
They're the local drunken boys
Been out drinking all night feeling alright
We watch them kill each other in a fight

Ship of fools, drunken hearts
Making yet another new start
Ain't it hard to play that part
When you've got a drunken heart

I can't change the world by complaining
You can't change it with a kiss
(be no?) concentrating contemplating
No time to find out what we miss

Ship of fools ...


12.Tied To The Tracks

What are you doing here in my nightmare? (in my nightmare)
Stepping back into the stupidness gets me nowhere (gets me
nowhere)

Look at you now - you look like an angel in hell
Look at you now - drown in your wishing well
Look at you now - all those strories and there's no one to tell
Look at you now
Do you think you can find a place for your dreams in my
nightmares?
And you're tied to the tracks but the train broke down

Wake me up and let me go (from) somebody i used to know
From somewhere in my nightmare.
Don't you remember the years we got nowhere? (we got nowhere)

Look at you now - you look like an angel in hell
Look at you now - drown in your wishing well
Look at you now - all those strories and there's no one to tell
Look at you now
Do you think you can find a place for your dreams in my
nightmares?
And you're playing with a different joker, but there's always
one more sucker
And you're tied to the tracks but the train broke down
Trapped at the top of the merry-go-round
But it won't let you down.

Look at you now - you look like an angel in hell
Look at you now - drown in your wishing well
Look at you now - all those strories and there's no one to tell
Look at you now
Do you think you can find a place for my dreams?


13.Whoa!

Whoaaaaaa!
I want blood
Southwest go home
I'm desperate to make love

Whoaaaaaa!
Desperate?
Southwest go home
I'm desperate to make love

Whooooaaaa!
