lyrics

Born at the Wrong Time

I wanna sing and the world says no
wanna stop and the world says go
I wanna love and the world hesitates
it's more lucrative to learn how to hate

I guess I was born at the wrong time
born at the wrong time

I finally see and the world goes blind
I'm finally sane and they lose their mind
buy walking shoes and they build a wall
open up a jail the day I start a brawl

I guess I was born at the wrong time
born at the wrong time

Wasn't made to live this way
to roll up in fear at the end of the day
mills and pills and churches and bars
can't see nothing from where you are
can't see nothing from where you are

When you're colorblind and the world sees red
and distorts every word the good book says
politicians and preachers and thieves and whores
I can't find much difference no more

I guess I was born at the wrong time
born at the wrong time

Wasn't made to live this way
to roll up in fear at the end of the day
mills and pills and churches and bars
can't see nothing from where you are
can't see nothing from where you are
