Pieces of a Man

Jagged jigsaw pieces
 
 Tossed about the room
 ♪
 I saw my grandma sweeping
 With her old straw broom
 But she didn't know what she was doing
 
 She could hardly understand
 ♪
 That she was really sweeping up
 
 Pieces of a man
 I saw my daddy meet the mailman
 
 And I heard the mailman say
 "Now don't you take this letter to heart now Jimmy
 'Cause they've laid off nine others today"
 But he didn't know what he was saying
 ♪
 He could hardly understand
 ♪
 That he was only talking to
 ♪
 Pieces of a man
 
 I saw the thunder and heard the lightning!
 And felt the burden of his shame
 And for some unknown reason
 
 He never turned my way
 Pieces of that letter
 ♪
 Were tossed about that room
 
 And now I hear the sound of sirens
 Come knifing through the gloom
 
 But they don't know what they are doing
 
 They could hardly understand
 ♪
 That they're only arresting
 ♪
 Pieces of a man
 ♪
 I saw him go to pieces
 I saw him go to pieces
 He was always such a good man
 He was always such a strong, strong man
 Yeah, I saw him go to pieces
 I saw him go to pieces
