If tonight he left this town
You think he'd live to live it down?
Today there is no one around
And now they just won’t make a sound

Mankind is the broken toy of a bored child
Ripped apart and tossed to the pile
Show them all what it means to be alive
Remind them that they’re all broken inside

Midnight whispers to the refugee
Whose self doubt leaves him blind to see
The only man he ever wants to be
Is nothing but his lonely dreams

Mankind is the broken toy of a bored child
Ripped apart and tossed to the pile
Show them all what it means to be alive
Remind them that they’re all broken inside

The fallen soldier has lost his life
In the valley of the shadow of death
He’s not coming home to his wife
No, he slowly takes his last breath

The father picks his favorite poison
Empties the bottle, no end in sight
Picking fights with the Favorite Son
Praying things turn out alright

Mankind is the broken toy of a bored child
Ripped apart and tossed to the pile
Show them all what it means to be alive
Remind them that they’re all broken inside
Show them all that they’re broken inside
Remind them all what it means to be alive
