Something's gone wrong with the world today
What's the matter with the human race
Everybody's fighting for more power and money
Braveheart's a racist, the paperboy's a junkie, yeahWhat's with the role models for all our boys and girls
Anorexic skinny monsters who seem to rule the world
The ball players you loved as a kid are gone
They've been replaced by steroid fed NeanderthalsReplaced by NeanderthalsShattered, shattered
When people aren't always what they seemIt turns out the lyrics that you live by are a fraud
When your favorite band's singer
Got arrested with a tranny on his jobMeanwhile little Danny
Down the block's all alone
He's been abused by the Parish priestHe's embarrassed and ashamed
Thinks he disgraced the family name
He's gonna buy a gun and settle the scoreYeah, then who you're gonna call
The local cop stalking girls down the mall
Or the world's greatest crooks from the FBIThe crooks from the FBIShattered, shattered
When people aren't always what they seem
Shattered, shattered
When the ones that we rely on break their wordShattered, shattered
When people aren't always what they seem
Shattered, shattered
When the ones that we rely on break their wordDad's never home
He says he's working overtime
Meanwhile Mommy's head's in the sand
She thinks everything is fineShe says, "Now Dad's important kids
So stay out of his way"
But little did she know
That the governor was gayShe didn't know that the governor was gayShattered, shattered
When people aren't always what they seem
Shattered, shattered
When the ones that we rely on break their wordShattered, shattered
Shattered, shattered
Shattered, shattered
When the ones that we rely on break their word
