Lyrics The Tiger Lillies

The Tiger Lillies

Born to Fail

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
