Shattered Lyrics By The Rolling Stones

    uh huh shattered uh huh shattered
    love and hope and sex and dreams
    are still surviving on the street
    look at me i’m in tatters
    i been shattered
    shattered

    friends are so alarming and my lover’s never charming
    life’s just a cocktail party on the street
    big apple people dressed in plastic bags directing traffic
    shadoobie shattered
    some kind of fashion
    shadoobie shattered

    laughter joy and loneliness and sex and sex and sex and sex
    look at me i’m in tatters
    i been shattered
    shattered

    all this chitterchatter chitterchatter chitterchatter about
    shmatta shmatta shmatta i can’t give it away on 7th avenue
    this town’s been wearing tatters uh huh shadoobie shattered
    work and work for love and sex
    ain’t you hungry for success success success success
    does it matter shattered

    does it matter

    ahhh look at me i’m a shattered
    i’m a shattered
    look at me i’m a shattered yeah

    pride and joy and greed and sex
    that’s what makes that town the best
    pride and joy and dirty dreams and still surviving on the street shattered
    and look at me i’m in tatters yeah shattered

    i’m in tatters what does it matter shattered
    does it matter uhhuh shattered
    does it matter uhhuh
    i’m shattered
    mmmm i’m shattered

    to live in this town you must be tough tough tough tough tough tough tough shadoobie shattered shadoobie shattered shattered

    we’ve got rats on the west side bed bugs uptown shadoobie shattered
    what a mess this town’s in tatters i’ve been shattered shadoobie shattered
    my brain’s been battered splattered all over manhattan shadoobie shattered

    shadoobie shattered shattered
    my friends they come around they flatter flatter flatter flatter flatter flatter flatter
    shadoobie shattered shadoobie shattered
    pile it up pile it up pile it high on the platter
    shadoobie shattered shattered
