Check the brake lights switch at the top of the brake pedal:

It's the rubber/plastic stopper that pushes the button on the brake pedal switch. It's busted.

Push in the button on the switch with your finger. If the lights go out, switch is OK and like trustdestruction said, almost certainly the little rubber bumper has fallen off.
