Lyrics

[03:53][00:02] When I was born they looked at me and said
[03:59][00:07] What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy
[04:05][00:12] And when you were born they looked at you and said
[04:10][00:18] What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl
[03:08][00:23] We've got these chains that hang around our necks
[03:13][00:28] People want to strangle us with them before we take our
[03:17][00:33] First breath
[03:20][00:34] Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same
[00:39] When temptation calls we just look away
[03:30][02:06][00:46] This name is the hairshirt I wear
[03:34][02:09][00:49] And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair
[03:41][02:16][00:57] This song is the cross that I bear
[03:45][02:20][01:00] Bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me
[03:50][02:25][01:06] Be with me tonight
[02:30][01:12] I know that it isn't right
[02:43][01:17] But be with me tonight
[01:20] I go to school, I write exams
[01:25] If I pass, if I fail, if I drop out, does anyone give a damn?
[01:32] And if they do, they'll soon forget
[01:36] 'Cause it won't take much for me to show that my life ain't over yet
[01:43] I wake up scared, I wake up strange
[01:48] I wake up wondering if anything in my life
[01:51] Is ever going to change
[01:55] I wake up scared, I wake up strange
[02:00] And everything around me stays the same
[02:46] I couldn't tell you that I was wrong
[02:51] Chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song
[02:57] I couldn't tell you that you were right
[03:01] So instead i looked in the mirror watched tv laid awake all night
[03:24] When temptation calls...
[04:14] hey
