How can it happen that every time |
|
You ask us this question the answer seems like a lie |
|
You know what we're saying and you know what it means |
|
And it's always sincere god knows |
|
But it never gets through to where you need |
|
Before you were born someone kicked in the door |
|
There's no place for you here, stay back where you belong |
|
Before you were born someone kicked in the door |
|
You are not wanted here, stay back where you belong |
|
God damn the people who left you in pain |
|
God damn the father without face, without name |
|
And god damn the lovers who never showed up |
|
And god damn the wounds that show how deep a word can cut |
|
Before you were born someone kicked in the door |
|
There's no place for you here, stay back where you belong |
|
Before you were born someone kicked in the door |
|
You are not wanted here, stay back where you belong |
|
And how can it happen now that you know the cause |
|
That nothing is changing and everything's wrong |
|
But pain is the healing and the tears sting like alcohol |
|
Just keep on there breathing |
|
We'll bring you down the long, long road back home |
