I Was Born

Well, I was born but I forgot it,
We left our marks in drying cement,
Well, hey mister don’t you doubt it,
I was born but I’ve seemed to forgot it.
And I was raised inside a bible,
And I was living off life support,
Unilateralist! Single mattress!
Guilty friday nights remind me that,
Sometimes I feel like I should have said no,
I feel like I should have said,
Sometimes I feel like I should have said no,
I feel like I should have said no.
And I met your savior over an alter,
Well I’m at your funeral, I’m at the slaughter
And I met your savior over an alter,
Well I’m at your funeral, I’m at the slaughter

Oh my god it’s been far too long,
Send my thoughts to the...
Sometimes I feel like I should have said no,
I feel like I should have said,
Sometimes I feel like I should have said no,
I feel like I should have said no.
