Not Supposed To Break Down Lyrics by Van Morrison

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
