Not supposed to break down
by Van Morrison

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
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
