United Breaks Guitars - Dave Carroll

I flew United Airlines on my way to Nebraska

The plane departed halifax connecting in Chicago's O'Hare

While on the ground a passenger said from the seat behind me

My god they're throwing guitars out there

The band and I exchanged a look best described as terror

At the action on the tarmac and knowing whose projectiles these would be

So before I left chicago I alerted three employees

Who showed complete indifference towards me

United

United

You broke my taylor guitar

United

United

Some big help you are

You broke it you should fix it

You're liable just admit it

I should've flown with someone else

Or gone by car

'Cause United breaks guitars

When we landed in nebraska I confirmed what I'd suspected

My taylor'd been the victim of a vicious act of malice at o'hare

So began a year long saga of pass the buck don't ask me

And I'm sorry sir your claim can go no where

So to all the airlines people from New York to New Deli

Including kind Ms Irlweg who says the final word from them is no

I heard all your excuses

And I've chased your wild gooses

And this attitude of yours I say must go

United

United

You broke my taylor guitar

United

United

Some big help you are

You broke it you should fix it

You're liable just admit it

I should've flown with someone else

Or gone by car

'Cause United breaks guitars

Well I won't say that I'll never fly with you again

'Cause maybe to save the world I probably would

But that won't likely happen

And if it did I wouldn't bring my luggage

'Cause you'd just go and break it

Into a thousand pieces

Just like you broke my heart

When United breaks guitars

United

United

You broke my taylor guitar

United

United

Some big help you are

You broke it you should fix it

You're liable just admit it

I should've flown with someone else

Or gone by car

'Cause United breaks guitars

Yeah United breaks guitars

Yeah United breaks guitars
