Broken Man

We all need to gain the upper hand
 An edge to do even better than we can
 No one seemed to care when it brought back the fans
 It's a broken record, strike up the band for the broken man
 A crowd so loud and a son so very proud
 The powers that be counting money, handing me a crown
 Only now they decide that it's time to take a stand
 It's a broken record, strike up the band for the broken man
 You can say I cheated, prop me up defeated
 Take a swing at me and the others, too, if you've got nothing better to do
 There's a street not far away that's named after me
 But my present and future is a gated community
 Leave your past behind if you really want to understand
 It's a broken record, strike up the band for the broken man
