[Verse 1]
You can force it but it will not come
You can force it but it will not form
You can crush it but it's always here
You can crush it but it's always near
Chasing you home
Saying...

[Chorus]
Everything is broken
Everyone is broken

[Verse 2]
You can force it but it will stay stung
You can crush it dry as a bone
You can walk it home straight from school
You can kiss it – you can break all the rules
All of the rules!
But still...

[Chorus]
Everything is broken
Everyone is broken
Everyone is, everything is broken
Everyone is, everything is...

[Outro]
Why can't you forget?
Why can't we forget?
Why can't you forget?

"Thanks..."

Radiohead emerged from the shadow of ‘90s Brit-pop with a sound that was moody, melodic and explosive; with roots planted firmly in both alternative culture and the art-rock legacy of such groups as Pink Floyd, R.E.M., The Smiths, and Talking Heads—from whose song they derived their name.

They formed in 1985, as On A Friday, named after the day they’d usually rehearse. The line-up hasn’t changed Thom Yorke (guitar/vocals), Ed O'Brien (guitar), Philip Selway (drums) and brothers Colin and Jonny Greenwood.

In 1991, they signed with EMI, changed their name to Radiohead, and recorded their first EP, Drill. They released the record in 1992, and it made little impact, debuting on the UK Charts at #101. It wasn’t until their catchy 1992 single “Creep” became a massive hit that the band was launched into the limelight.
