[03:53][00:02]When I was born they looked at me and said
[03:59][00:07]What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy
[04:05][00:12]And when you were born they looked at you and said
[04:10][00:18]What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl
[03:08][00:23]We've got these chains that hang around our necks
[03:13][00:28]People want to strangle us with them before we take our
[03:17][00:33]First breath
[03:20][00:34]Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same
[00:39]When temptation calls we just look away
[03:30][02:06][00:46]This name is the hairshirt I wear
[03:34][02:09][00:49]And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair
[03:41][02:16][00:57]This song is the cross that I bear
[03:45][02:20][01:00]Bear it with me, bear with me, bear with me
[03:50][02:25][01:06]Be with me tonight
[02:30][01:12]I know that it isn't right
[02:43][01:17]But be with me tonight
[01:20]I go to school, I write exams
[01:25]If I pass, if I fail, if I drop out, does anyone give a damn?
[01:32]And if they do, they'll soon forget
[01:36]'Cause it won't take much for me to show that my life ain't over yet
[01:43]I wake up scared, I wake up strange
[01:48]I wake up wondering if anything in my life
[01:51]Is ever going to change
[01:55]I wake up scared, I wake up strange
[02:00]And everything around me stays the same
[02:46]I couldn't tell you that I was wrong
[02:51]Chickened out, grabbed a pen and paper, sat down and I wrote this song
[02:57]I couldn't tell you that you were right
[03:01]So instead i looked in the mirror watched tv laid awake all night
[03:24]When temptation calls...
[04:14]hey
