Broken lines, broken strings
Broken threads, broken springs
Broken idols, broken heads
People sleeping in broken beds
Ain't no use jiving
Ain't no use joking
Everything is broken
Broken bottles, broken plates
Broken switches, broken gates
Broken dishes, broken parts
Streets are filled with broken hearts
Broken words never meant to be spoken
Everything is broken
Seem like every time you stop and turn around
Something else just hit the ground
Broken cutters, broken saws
Broken buckles, broken laws
Broken bodies, broken bones
Broken voices on broken phones
Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin'
Everything is broken
Every time you leave and go off someplace
Things fall to pieces in my face
Broken hands on broken ploughs
Broken treaties, broken vows
Broken pipes, broken tools
People bending broken rules
Hound dog howling, bullfrog croaking
Everything is broken
Broken threads, broken springs
Broken idols, broken heads
People sleeping in broken beds
Ain't no use jiving
Ain't no use joking
Everything is broken
Broken bottles, broken plates
Broken switches, broken gates
Broken dishes, broken parts
Streets are filled with broken hearts
Broken words never meant to be spoken
Everything is broken
Seem like every time you stop and turn around
Something else just hit the ground
Broken cutters, broken saws
Broken buckles, broken laws
Broken bodies, broken bones
Broken voices on broken phones
Take a deep breath, feel like you're chokin'
Everything is broken
Every time you leave and go off someplace
Things fall to pieces in my face
Broken hands on broken ploughs
Broken treaties, broken vows
Broken pipes, broken tools
People bending broken rules
Hound dog howling, bullfrog croaking
Everything is broken

Bob snubs Nobel award presentation. He has something else on his calendar.
My gosh...he's pushing 80 years old, and he can still piss people off.
Cool.

He's touring the Midwest in early Oct 2023. KC, STL, CHI, MIL.
Plan to see at least two shows on the road. Get lost somewhere.
Where? Yes...Highway 61 runs right through these tour venues.
Imagine that.

A splendid album. I agree with previous posters. Prescient.
once again, zimmy is ahead of his time.
A truly timeless song ... sadly.

It’s all about the base!
I’d like to lighten the comments a little and say that every time I see the cover art for this song I think of Calvin and Hobbs!!!!
When I was younger, along time ago, I liked a few of his tunes.
With age comes clarity (for some things) and this song has a little of ALL Dylan.
This one is not near his best, but the body of work is substantial, and many of his works are superb. His voice separates opinion, but in the end that is what makes BOB. Bravo to a legend!

The first step to fixing what's "broken" is accepting that it's not all "just the other guy's fault".
It does take two sides to break or fix.
What an apt song to hear while the impeachment coverup goes on. Everything is broken in the US government and the Republican majority especially.

That works! Daniel Lanois produced this with his trademark sound...
Bob..just don't drop the Nobel statute...otherwise it will be broken!
This doesn't suck. That's a compliment.
I too can hear the waifs still playing / perfect song tho by DylanIs this a message from Bill? Something is definitely broken, I'm still hearing Prince through this…
I think that this song is great! I think he hit an even higher level with Love and Theft, and this makes me want to find it and CRANK IT!
Love it, So Dylan

Instead of you being disingenuous, how about I give you three guesses and the first two don't count?
I'm sure that if you think really hard you can figure it out in a single try.

Not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does.

Question: whom did Bob want to marry but she turned him down, because she thought it might displease Dr. King?
This should be an excellent show.
Maybe Bobby will be on the broken road and touring in the summer of 2016.
Yeah, baby, yeah.

Broken English is my invention.I'll keep looking for anything and everthing that resembles bullfrog.
I like this Album very much too. But mainly because of "Man in the Long Black Coat".
For "Everything is Broken", I'd give maybe a 5 or 6. But for Man in the Long Black Coat
it would be a straight 10!

10/22/15: Growing murmurs that Jeb is toast and that (Jesus wept) Trump is going to be the nominee. Every presidential election sees the GOP sink to a new low.
Nice segue from Cake's "Shadow Stabbing" to this, though.

https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/features/2014-12-11/jeb-bush-has-a-mitt-romney-problem
"Until now, many people have assumed that Bush’s greatest challenge would be dispelling the perception among Republican primary voters that he’s a moderate in a party dominated by right-wing conservatives. In the wake of Romney’s bruising 2012 loss, however, Bush’s overseas funds, mysterious investors, and foreign entanglements could prove harder to overcome. As a budding private equity mogul, he’s begun to resemble a Mini-Mitt. Bush declined to be interviewed for this article.
“Running as the second coming of Mitt Romney is not a credential that’s going to play anywhere, with Republicans or Democrats,” says John Brabender, a Republican consultant and veteran of presidential campaigns. “Not only would this be problematic on the campaign trail, I think it also signals someone who isn’t seriously looking at the presidency or he wouldn’t have gone down this path.” "

Not much was broken in 1989 - Bob.
But in 2012 - Everything Is Broken
But in 2012 - Everything Is Broken

I like this song. It always reminds me of a place I used to work.
go listen to your mindless dreck, leave us fans of great music alone.....
to quote jack black from "high fidelity"
Barry: Rob, top five musical crimes perpetuated by Stevie Wonder in the '80s and '90s. Go. Sub-question: is it in fact unfair to criticize a formerly great artist for his latter day sins, is it better to burn out or fade away?
what a truly, truly AWFUL song

Give it a few years and things will just be rubble.
A few years after that, even the rumble will be broken.

At a recent concert in Santa Barbara I heard he was singing in Romulan.
I'll still listen to him on CD but never again live after this year's Hop Farm Festival. He couldn't have been worse. Sounded like Tom Waits covering Bob Dylan with very little enthusiasm. Just lucky Damien Rice, Patti Smith, Randy Crawford and Joan Armatrading had been so awesome before hand or I would have felt pretty cheated. Actually Damien Rice who I have wanted to see for ages was even better than I could have imagined.

This song just lifted my spirit after a terrible technical day. Thank you Bill!

Can there ever be 'too much Dylan' I don't think so :) but each to their own.

OK, I had a English teacher in High School who claims BD was his roommate in College. Teacher's name was John Werner and did go to Minnesota school like Dylan. Anyone know if this is true? Mr. Werner was very gay....but we didn't know it at the time.
He rocks ! And now, everything is broken !
