The Rolling Stones Shattered lyrics

Shattered, shattered
Love and hope and sex and dreams
Are still survivin' on the street
Look at me, I'm in tatters
I'm a shattered, shattered

Friends are so alarmin'
And my lover's never charmin'
Life's just a cocktail party on the street
Big apple, people dressed in plastic bags
Directing traffic, some kind of fashion, shattered

Laughter, joy, and loneliness
And sex and sex and sex and sex
Look at me, I'm in tatters
I'm a shattered, shattered

All this chitter-chatter
Chitter-chatter, chitter-chatter 'bout
Tush, my tush, my tush, my tush
I can't give it away on 7th Avenue
This town's been wearin' tatters, aha

You've been shattered
Work and work for love and sex
Ain't you hungry for success
Success, success, success
Does it matter? I'm shattered, does it matter?

Ahhh, look at me, I'm a shattered
I'm a shattered
Look at me, I'm a shattered, yeah
I'm shattered

Pride and joy and greed and sex
That's what makes our town the best
Pride and joy and dirty dreams
And still survivin' on the street


And look at me, I'm in tatters, yeah
I've been battered, what does it matter
Does it matter, uh-huh
Does it matter, uh-huh, I'm a shattered

Umm, I'm shattered
Uh, shadoobie, shattered
Uh, shadoobie, shattered
Uh, shadoobie, shattered, shattered

Don't you know the crime rate
Is going up, up, up, up, up
To live in this town you must be
Tough, tough, tough, tough, tough

You got rats on the west side, bed bugs uptown
What a mess this town's in tatters
I've been shattered, my brain's been battered
Splattered all over Manhattan

Shadoobie, shattered, shattered
I say, shadoobie shattered
Shadoobie, shattered
Shadoobie, shattered

Uh-huh, this town's full of money grabbers
And go ahead, bite the big apple
Don't mind the maggots, aha
Shadoobie, my brain's been battered

My friends they come around they
Flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter, flatter
Pile it up, pile it up, pile it high on the platter
