Lyrics

You don´t know the trouble you´re in

You are unaware of the trouble you are facing.

Linvin´ in paradise, livin´ in sin

Living in a seemingly perfect place but engaged in sinful activities.

You better watch out baby one of these days

Be cautious because one day consequences may come.

Another man coming gonna change your ways

Expect someone new to arrive and influence change in your life.


Broken, broken truth must be spoken

Expressing a situation as broken, emphasizing the need for truth.

Can we be responsible, is someone keeping score

Questioning responsibility and wondering if actions are being recorded or judged.

Broken, broken when all guns are smoking

Reiterating the broken situation, with a reference to conflict (guns smoking).

Do you want to die then, according to the law

Pondering the desire for death and questioning its legality.


Sunshine, moonshine, fire & flood

Mentioning various elements—sunshine, moonshine, fire & flood—as symbols of unpredictable challenges.

Death come hungry to your neighbourhood

Death is portrayed as hungry and approaching neighborhoods.

You better watch out baby, one of these nights

Warning of imminent danger on certain nights.

Somebody coming to shoot out your lights

Anticipating a threat to one's safety, potentially involving violence.


Broken, broken, lies will be spoken

Repeating the concept of brokenness, highlighting the prevalence of lies.

Must we be expendable, is that what we are for

Raising the question of expendability and the purpose of existence.

Broken, broken, when all doors are closing

Continuing the theme of brokenness, emphasizing closed opportunities.

Shall we say good-bye then, according to the law

Considering saying goodbye in line with established norms or laws.


You better move baby cut & run

Advising to move away quickly and escape trouble.

Better get back to where you come from

Suggesting a return to one's origin or roots.

You better watch out baby, stay in line

Cautioning to stay in line or face consequences.

You´re gonna lose out to a life of crime

Predicting a loss due to involvement in criminal activities.


Broken, broken, swear I ain´t jokin´

Reiterating brokenness and emphasizing the seriousness without jest.

Is nothing sacred, no lovers anymore

Questioning the sanctity of things, expressing a loss of genuine love.

Broken, broken, when virgins are chosen

Continuing the broken theme, referencing the choice of virgins.

Then who will choose you according to the law

Pondering who will make choices for someone, considering legal or societal norms.


Broken, broken truth must be spoken

Repeating the call for truth in a broken situation.

Too late to be virgins, too early to be whores

Commenting on the timing of life's experiences, too late for innocence and too early for corruption.

Broken, broken when all guns are smokin´

Recalling the theme of brokenness, this time with smoking guns indicating conflict.

Then you must be silent, according to the law.

Suggesting silence in the face of a broken, conflicted situation, possibly due to legal implications.
