Oh, I'm an old broken machine
Nobody tells me what I mean
I had a purpose, I'm pretty sure
But I ain't got use much anymore
No, I ain't got use much anymore
Ooh
She used to work me straight to the bell
No woman worked me quite so well
Knew all my buttons, oiled all my gears
Gentle on my lever through the years
Daily on my lever, twenty years
Oh, then the beltway stops
Circuit's got a bug
Then the breaker pops
And the wires unplug
Shit disconnects
Can't get quite as far
So the lady inspects
To find where problems are
But my faults are legion
She tries to fix me
Turns me off and on
But my faults are legion
Maybe if she kicks me
Till the defect's gone?
My faults are legion
They go on and on
Yeah, they go on and on
Now my computer fried to combust
Ain't got a memory I can trust
I laugh a lot, I laugh till I tear
'Cause I can't recall how we got here
No, I can't recall how I got here
With a ruptured spout
And a fluid spill
I think a light went out
Guess it's all downhill
Venting's caked in dust
Boiler's overflowed
I'm spoiled in rust
God, why don't I just explode?
'Cause my faults are legion
No one can fix me
Turn me off and on
Yeah, my faults are legion
Everybody kicks me
And no defect's gone
My faults are legion
My faults are legion
She goes on and on
Yeah, she goes on and on
Oh, I'm an old broken machine
Nobody tells me what I mean
Somebody tell me what I'm for
'Cause she don't need me anymore
Maybe life was better at the store
