| This song was written in the mid-1990s, so a few of the high-tech gadgets mentioned don't seem all that high-tech anymore... but I think that the point still comes across. -Steve H. |
1. In this modern
world / we've got telephones in our cars
Men have walked
on the moon / and we're talkin' about going to Mars
We've got robots
that walk / computers that talk
Oh, but if
we're so smart
Why can't somebody
make / an unbreakable heart
2. We've got
digital clocks / VCRs and CDs
Microwave ovens
/ and satellite TVs
But it's my
contention / there's one invention
That'd really
be state-of-the-art
Why can't somebody
make / an unbreakable heart
chorus:
Why can't somebody make / a heart that won't break
Won't ever
ache / and can't be torn apart
It's something
everybody could use / like a surefire cure for the blues
Why can't somebody
make / an unbreakable heart
3. We've got
artificial colors / and imitation flavors, too
And contact
lenses / that change your eyes from brown to blue
We've got laser
beams / and stretch limousines
Now I wish
somebody would start
Workin' on
makin' / an unbreakable heart
repeat chorus.
| "Unbreakable
Heart" appears on the Steve Haggard CD,
