Born In A Rut
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.
Born in a rut, raised to love abuse
No innocence, never needed an excuse
To lie and cheat, the word on the street
Is just I am just no good, right?
(Yeah, I know I'm not right, but I just don't care)
Now I won't budge, keep your hands off me
Less you hear is the less that I believe
I still lie and cheat the word on the street
And yes, I'm no good, right?
Hey you, don't tell me what to believe
Hey you, I wear my heart on my sleeve
Hey you, I am the way that I seem
Hey you, you never listen to me
I don't really give a damn
I was born to lose
I will not live forever
I don't need no excuse
The day I die, no tears be cried
'Cause this what I choose
This tragedy is my destiny
There's nothing I can do
(Yeah, I know I still got problems, but I just don't care, right?)
I don't really give a damn
I was born to lose
I will not live forever
I don't need no excuse
The day I die, no tears be cried
'Cause this what I choose
This tragedy is my destiny
There's nothing I can do
