United Breaks Guitar

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
