This is one of the most complex song I have ever listed to, even for Tracy's standard. I do believe Tracy's style is to 'point at things', without asking questions directly, proposing or blaming directly, although I am sure she could do that with no difficulties every time; however, helping people become aware and then make their decisions and opinions is what she usually does with most of her stories.
Surprisingly, I do think 'Broken' is one of the exception, if you listen carefully you imaging her speaking looking to the listener right in the eye. She keeps saying 'you', 'you', 'you'... which is very uncommon for her songs.
Whenever I listen to 'Broken' I wonder why she had an approach that is so opposed to most of her songs. I feel like she is perplexed at how we live in the present and still are able to be ok with ourselves, together with 'hard wired' they describe total social/personal devastation, just a bit more direct approach
