Born Yesterday
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
