Banged and Blown Through Lyrics

[Verse]
We are broken instruments
Burst wide open, smashed and bent
Not what you'd expect from these city streets
Who serves to protect the orchestra in me?

[Bridge]
Conductor, conductor, I feel electricity
Conductor, conductor, can you bring out the song in me?

[Chorus]
(Instruments, instruments, instruments, instruments)
Banged and blown through
(Instruments, instruments, instruments, instruments)
Banged and blown through
(Instruments, instruments, instruments, instruments)
Banged and blown through
(Instruments, instruments, instruments, instruments)

[Verse]
We are broken instruments
Burst wide open, smashed and bent
Not what you'd expect from these city streets
Who serves to protect the orchestra in me?

[Chorus]
(Instruments, instruments, instruments, instruments)
Banged and blown through
(Instruments, instruments, instruments, instruments)
Banged and blown through
(Instruments, instruments, instruments, instruments)
Banged and blown through
(Instruments, instruments, instruments, instruments)
[Outro]
Conductor, conductor
Conductor, conductor
Can you bring out the song in me?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
