[00:28.16]Jagged jigsaw pieces
[00:31.27]
[00:34.70]Tossed about the room
[00:37.67]
[00:40.89]I saw my grandma sweeping
[00:44.22]
[00:47.16]With her old straw broom
[00:51.44]
[00:53.38]She didn't know what she was doing
[00:55.79]
[00:59.93]She could hardly understand
[01:04.58]
[01:10.10]That she was really sweeping up
[01:13.00]
[01:17.07]Pieces of a man
[01:19.86]
[01:23.07]I saw my daddy greet the mailman
[01:26.11]
[01:29.38]And I heard the mailman say
[01:31.98]
[01:35.45]Now don't you take this letter to heart now jimmy
[01:38.37]
[01:42.08]Cause they've laid off nine others today
[01:45.01]
[01:48.48]He didn't know what he was saying
[01:51.12]
[01:55.12]He could hardly understand
[02:00.58]
[02:05.43]That he was only talking to
[02:09.40]
[02:12.45]Pieces of a man
[02:14.62]
[02:17.64]I saw the thunder and heard the lightning
[02:21.69]
[02:23.92]And felt the burden of his shame
[02:26.10]
[02:30.74]And for some unknown reason
[02:34.03]
[02:37.22]He never turned my way
[02:39.23]
[02:44.51]Pieces of that letter
[02:47.27]
[02:50.24]Were tossed about that room
[02:52.83]
[02:56.56]And now I hear the sound of sirens
[03:00.92]
[03:03.21]Come knifing through the gloom
[03:06.79]
[03:09.55]They don't know what they are doing
[03:12.89]
[03:16.15]They could hardly understand
[03:20.16]
[03:26.40]That they're only arresting
[03:29.41]
[03:32.98]Pieces of a man
[03:36.07]
[03:39.19]I saw him go to pieces
[03:42.39]
[03:45.35]I saw him go to pieces
[03:48.88]
[03:51.92]He was always such a good man
[03:55.23]
