Lyrics
Born To Fail
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.
Got a set of golden handcuffs
Got a set of golden chains
Live in a prison called a penthouse
Where the inmates drink champagne
Got a set of plastic handcuffs
Got a set of plastic chains
Live in a prison called a slum
But it wouldn't matter if that was to change
Because you were born to fail
You were born to fail
You were born you were born
You were born to fail
You're doing a lot of time
About seventy years
And it's full of suffering
And strife and stress and fear
You're doing a lot of time
About seventy years
And it's full of suffering
And strife and stress and fear
And you were born to fail
You were born to fail
You were born you were born
You were born to fail
You were born to fail
You were born to fail
You were born to fail
