When I was born, they looked at me and said, "What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy..." When you were born, they looked at you and said, "What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl..." We've got these chains hanging 'round our necks people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath Afraid of change, afriad of staying the same, when temptation comes we just look away This name is the hairshirt I wear and this hair shirt is woven from your brown hair This song is the cross that I bear bear with me bear with me bear with me be with me tonight I know it isn't right be with me tonight I go to school I write exams If I pass, if I fail, if I drop out does anyone give a damn? And if they do they'll soon forget 'cause it won't take much for me to show them my life ain't over yet I wake up scared I wake up strange I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever going to change I wake up scared I wake up strange and everything around me stays the same ...is the hairshirt I wear and this hair shirt is woven from is woven from your brown hair This song is the cross that I bear bear with me bury it with me bear with me be with me tonight I know it isn't right be with me tonight I couldn't tell you that I was wrong I chickened out with a pen and paper sat down and wrote this song I couldn't tell you that you were right so instead I looked in the mirror, watched TV, laid awake all night We've got these chains hanging 'round our necks people want to strangle us with them before we take our first breath Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same, when temptation comes yeah This name is the hairshirt I wear and this hair shirt is woven from woven from your brown hair This song is the cross that I bear bear with me bury it with me bury it with me be with me tonight When I were born, they looked at me and said, "What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy..." When you were born, they looked at you and said, "What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl..." | ||
