Not Supposed to Break Down Lyrics

You're not supposed to be human 
You're not supposed to really feel
Not supposed to get involved 
With anything completely real
Fifteen families starving 
All around the corner block 
Here we're standing so alone
Just like Gibraltar Rock 
Not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down 
Swallow the dirt
Keep listening to the hurt 
You'll be safe and sound 

Supposed to be super human 
Cover everything
Just like a bird 
Cover an egg with it's wing
And knowing there's nothing sacred 
And what is the use
>No point trying to find 
What is worth, what is true 

Not supposed to break down 
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt Listen to the dirt
You'll be safe and sound 
You're not supposed to break down 
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt 
Listen to the dirt
And you'll be safe and sound 

A fool and his mainline connection
By-pass going to the well
But that doesn't matter anymore
I'm sure that we can tell
Who's a puppet on a string
An' who really holds the glove
But it ain't up you and me
It's up to the Lord above 

You're not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt
Keep on listening to the dirt
And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound 

You're not supposed to break down
You're not supposed to break down
Swallow the hurt
Listen to the dirt
I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
And I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
