Broken Road

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

What happened to us

Verse 1

Streets on fire back in sixty-eight

Martin gone, Bobby too, and I watched the weight

Vietnam shadows creepin' through the radio

Young men leavin' home, never coming back though

Fast forward now, same smoke in the air

Different names on the gravestone, same despair

Phone in my palm telling lies dressed as truth

They sold us the fountain, but they poisoned the root

Chorus

What happened to the world I used to know

What happened to the love we used to show

Promised land turned to broken road

Tell me somethin' sweet, I need to know

What happened to us

Verse 2

Gentleman in the White House back in seventy-one

Told us peace was comin', peace never come

Now they preach from a pixel, tweetin' out a prayer

Hands on the button, but they ain't nowhere

Neighbor used to wave, now he double-locks the gate

Trust turned to rust, and I'm standin' here too late

New York corner, same old song

Different hustle, same thing wrong

Chorus

What happened to the world I used to know

What happened to the love we used to show

Promised land turned to broken road

Tell me somethin' sweet, I need to know

What happened to us

Bridge

I sang about sexual healing

Now I'm singin' 'bout a world that's reelin'

Maybe the love is still somewhere

Underneath the noise, underneath the glare

Outro

(Mm)
