Lyrics The Proclaimers

The Proclaimers

Born Innocent

We're born innocent, found guilty

Living life is treated like a crime

We're born innocent, found guilty

Everytime

Our best never beats our worst

Its a funny as its perverse

We're born innocent, found guilty

Everytime

Blame parents blame religion

And the papers and the television

Blame ourselves for causing pain

We love to blame

We ditch the things that we make

Us hate ourselves

Just to replace them with something else

We're born innocent, found guilty

Everytime

Make claim and counter claim

Bribe the jury, and its still the same

Their verdicts already in

you can't win

Make claim and counter claim

Bribe the jury, and its still the same

Their verdicts already in

you can't win

We're born innocent, found guilty

Living life is treated like a crime

We're born innocent, found guilty

Everytime

Our best never beats our worst

Its a funny as its perverse

We're born innocent, found guilty

Everytime
