Artist/Band: Van Morrison
Lyrics for Song: Not Supposed To Break Down
Lyrics for Album: The Philosopher's Stone [1998]



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
