I wrote a song on a broken guitar And I played it for them They told me it was out of touch
But I thought I had my finger on the pulse Of the nation's youth, of a girl like you, Of a few home truths I thought you already knew I wrote a song on a broken guitar In the house with the broken A.C. And it was pouring out of me And I know you're gonna think it's all about you Cause you don't care about the truth I know you only ever wanna feel good
As the party dwindled, I heard Broken Social Scene On a hi-fi stereo
She slipped from my hands and fell to the floor Couldn't stand for me to touch her anymore My baby broke her back trying to get away The broken record tried to play It was an RCA, I had a lot to say But I couldn't get it out So I was dry-heavin' I was barely breathin' In the wet death of a Summer day
I wrote a song on a broken guitar And it was gonna be an instant classic Only the kids, they'd never catch it You know they only ever wanna feel good
As the party dwindled, I heard Broken Social Scene On a hi-fi stereo And it was an RCA, it was an RCA And I had a lot to say But I couldn't get it all out So I was dry-heavin' I was barely breathin' In the wet death of a Summer day And all on a broken guitar!
And they told me it was out of touch
And they told me it was out of touch
And they told me it was out of touch I thought I had my finger on the pulse
