I’M NOT BORN INTO THIS
A BEATING FATHER
WHO IS WAY MORE INTERESTED I N MAKING MONEY
THAN IN YOU
I’M NOT BORN INTO THIS
A DUMB MOTHER
WHO IS WAY MORE INTERESTED IN LOVING
THE FATHER THAN
LOVING YOU
I’M NOT BORN INTO THIS
THE NEED TO POUR THE WINE
DOWN  THE THROAT
CLOSE THE EYES
GET A REST
UNDER BRIDGES & IN CHEAP MOTELS
I’M NOT BORN INTO THIS
A LOST BIRD  WITH NO WINGS
I’M NOT BORN INTO THIS
BUT I FEEL PART OF IT.
