Lyrics Silverstein

Silverstein

Born Dead

You call this a privilege

No, I call it a right

There's no respect for life

No compromising

Coverage denied

Coverage denied

So, sit behind your desk

And tell me how I'm supposed to feel inside

You know I'm slowly dying

How long I have left is for you to decide

We keep on suffering everyday

The victims of opportunity

One nation under God, they said

We are all born dead

Dead and rotting bodies fill the

Fields in the east

There's no respect for life, it never stops

Is this what makes us free?

So flex your muscle as you

Barricade the whole world piece by piece

How long until the ocean

Overflows into our yards and streets?

We keep on suffering everyday

The victims of opportunity

One nation under God, they said

We are all pawns, we are all sheep, we are all born dead

We can't escape this

Until we unify as one

We'll fight the sickness

Until my time has come

We keep on suffering everyday

The victims of opportunity

One nation under God, they said

We are all born dead

We keep on suffering everyday

The victims of opportunity

One nation under God, they said

We are all pawns, we are all sheep, we are all born dead
