I flew United Airlines on the way to Nebraska
The plane departed Halifax connecting in Chicago’s O’Hare
While on the ground, the passengers said from the seat behind me
“My God! They’re throwing guitars out there.”
The band and exchanged a look, best described as terror
At the action on the tarmac and knowing who’s projectiles these would be
So before I left Chicago, I alerted three employees
Who showed complete indifference towards me
Chorus
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 have flown with someone else or GONE BY CAR
Cause United Breaks Guitars!
When we landed in Nebraska, I confirmed what I suspected
My Taylor had 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 nowhere
So to all the airlines people from New York To New Dehli
Including kind Miss Irlweg who says the final word from them is no
I’ve heard all your excuses and chased your wild gooses
And say this attitude of yours, I say, must go
Chorus
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 have flown with someone else or GONE BY CAR
Cause United Breaks Guitars!
Bridge:
Well I won’t say I will 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!
Chorus
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 have flown with someone else or GONE BY CAR
Cause United Breaks Guitars!
Yeah United breaks guitars
