Born Yesterday

Can´t shake the monkey on my back

Can´t lose my luggage in the friendly skies

Can´t tell the good guys from the bad

Can´t hear the music for the background noise

Wish i was born yesterday

Born yesterday

I would be naked in every sense

I would be blissful in innocence

If i was born yesterday

Can´t look a stranger in the eye

Can´t reach the knife between my shoulder blades

Can´t fall asleep for wondering why

Can´t keep awake to man the barricades

Wish i was born yesterday

Born yesterday

I would be naked in every sense

I would be blissful in innocence

If i was born yesterday

All this stuff inside my head

Wish i could remember to forget

I find my thrill but lose my thread again

Can´t say the words, they make me choke

Can´t hear the punchline for the joke

Can´t see the trees for all the smoke

Can´t feel the love

Cant feel the love for all the hate

Can´t taste the dinner i just ate

For all the ketchup on the plate

Wish i was born yesterday

Born yesterday

I would be naked in every sense

I would be blissful in innocence

If i was born yesterday
