It was released as a single with a music video.
The words
A rolling list of broken things paints a world falling apart piece by piece.
The singer reels off a long, rolling list of things that no longer work, from household objects and machinery to laws, promises and people. The catalogue starts small and keeps widening until the whole world seems to be coming apart, yet the delivery is wry rather than despairing, almost a shrug. There is no story, just the steady pile-up of damage. It was released as a single with a music video and moves on a swampy, rhythmic groove.
