born in '72safe from smallpox and polio too
my dad got blinded by mumps at five
and grandma barely made it alive past ten
I was born with many a friend
my man from way back
called me again
and he said it's hard to meet folks at school
and he knows who really smells cool
Chorus
but hey
what could I say?
oh hey
now what could I do?
Well there ain't anyway I could ever have a clue
on occasion it's true
I'm white, and it's a good thing too
so don't get pulled over by the cops
in (?) one who stops
not three
and boy, as (?) can be
my arms still more important than she
my friend got passed over a raise
and she said she thought she'd sue for days
Chorus
when I'm always paid more even if less skilled
can't ask for more so I'm unfulfilled
you break apart everything you build
you had it right here and you still do
through and through
don't look at me I'm a faithful man
but I still don't do all things I can
some call it guilt
I call it fear
both are queer
yeah
ladies and gentleman, on the drums, Jason McGurr
born in '72
my momma loved me
that I knew
they lived their life
for the sis and I
and they told us if we try
we could
and I'm born to everything good
for reasons still not understood
you wonder how the price will get paid
and you end up living afraid
oh yeah
yeah
alright
yeah
woo
I'll fuckin' kill you!
