[Spoken Vocal]
Busted…
(Suggested)
Not finished.
Not forgotten.
(Not rotten)
Just…
A little worse for wear.
(Right around there)
[Verse 1]
Cracked paint
Rusty frame
Still remembers
Why it came
Bent wheel
Loose screw
Still got something
Left to do
Years go by
Things get old
Stories fade
But hearts stay bold
You can wear
The battle scars
Still keep reaching
For the stars
[Refrain]
Busted
(But not broken)
Rusted
(But still stokin’)
[Chorus]
Busted!
(Busted!)
But I’m still alive
Rusted!
(Rusted!)
Still got a drive
Busted!
(Busted!)
Not broken!
[Verse 2]
Keep those dreams
Don’t delay
Change the scenes
Have a say
[Instrumental]
[Electric Guitar Solo: Raw Blues-Rock Lead, Fuzz, Wah-Wah, Hammond Organ, Driving Bass and Live Drums]
[Bridge]
Busted doesn’t mean
You’ve lost
(It’s more the cost)
Of obscene…
[Rap Vocal Break]
Busted
(Still moving)
Rusted
(Still grooving)
Busted
(But not broken)
Trusted
(Keep on stokin’)
[Breakdown]
[Music Drops to Bass, Acoustic Guitar and Sparse Piano]
Busted…
But not broken.
Rusted…
But still stokin’.
[Whispered]
Still tokin’…
[Final Refrain]
Busted
(But not broken)
Trusted
(Keep on stokin’)
[Final Chorus]
Busted!
(Busted!)
Still alive
Rusted!
(Rusted!)
Still got drive
Bent!
(Bent!)
Scars!
(Upon scars)
Still reaching
For the stars
Busted!
(Busted!)
But not broken!
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Distorted Guitar Riff, Bass, Drums and Hammond Organ; Gradual Tape-Stop Effect]
Busted…
Rusted…
Still stokin’…
[Spoken, fading]
Not broken.
