George puts the bottle on his knee Puts the bottle in between our ages George never quite knew what it meant To be loved, but understands the meaning He was born before the war An old man now, old and poor
Hey, what’s the matter with this world? Wat’s the matter with this life? He wonders It’s strange, but when you’re stuck inside these woods, You start to cry with the wolves when you’re hungry We drink the devil’s drink and nod He then looks at me and says
Where is god and angels comforting me? Angels comforting me, for I’m a broken man I’m a broken man George is a broken man
Hey, I worked hard all my life It was the right thing to do At least, I was told so… I had a house, a family, but oh… It all went and now I’m stuck and I feel so… My son crashed and my wife went mad She blamed me and left with all I had
Oh, angels comforting me For I’m a broken man I’m a broken man George is a broken man
When I’m drunk, I forget everything When I’m drunk I can hear the angels sing Sing! For I’m a broken man I’m a broken man George is a broken man
