Not Supposed To Break Down (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 I'll bet you'll be safe and sound
