lyrics

(Broken Homes and broken bones John Doe broke Jane's broken nose
it's alright is all she says, same old story till she's dead)

There's a secret location in every city in this nation where the broke and beat-down go when their house is not a home
a victim relocation from a shitty situation to hide from individuals who couldn't grasp the golden rules

Daddy passed away but stepdad is here to stay
reworded tracking moves into being there for you
he took her as his wife and now she's never in the right
he says your kids a mess and he tells er how to dress

She keeps on saying she's alright
but there ain't no shame in saving your life
(Broken Homes and broken bones John Doe broke Jane's broken nose
it's alright is all she says, same old story till she's dead)

He works a hard day so he's entitled to cocaine
she tries to get him help and he shifts the fucking blame
ridicule for dinner and violence for dessert
she says that it's her fault while she's brushing off the dirt

She keeps on saying she's alright
but there ain't no shame in saving your life
(Broken Homes and broken bones John Doe broke Jane's broken nose
it's alright is all she says, same old story till she's dead)

(Broken Homes and broken bones John Doe broke Jane's broken nose
it's alright is all she fucking says, same old story till she's dead)
