Born Again

My parents raised me the best they could

but somewhere along the line i came out misunderstood

growing up this way was never part of my plan

but it's a long strange road to becoming a man

i tried to do all the right things

and made all the wrong turns (wrong turns)

its hard living with your mistakes

but somehow you gotta learn (gotta learn)

I'm never gonna figure it out,

what this fucking life's about

i die over and over till the end

and in the morning I'll be born again (i'll be born again)

my parents were holy, they were heaven bound

and playing Rock & Roll just wasn't allowed

so i stayed up nights glued to my headphones

but there was something lacking on the radio

so i picked up my guitar and

started writing my own songs (own songs)

and it took a while but i finally

found where i belong (i belong)

I'm never gonna figure it out,

what this fucking life's about

i die over and over till the end

and in the morning I'll be born again (i'll be born again)

i was never taught

to follow my dreams

so i gave up on them

but they didn't give up on me

thought it'd be all cool when i got out on my own

but trying to feed you kids takes on a weight of it's own

slaved away for years while it ate at me

but i wasn't meant to burn out in some factory

if you wanna be happy you

gotta stick with what you know (what ya know)

if you follow your heart it

will always lead to back to home (back to home)

I'm never gonna figure it out,

what this fucking life's about

i die over and over till the end

and in the morning I'll be born again (i'll be born again)
