When I was born they looked at me and said[00:00:05]
What a good boy what a smart boy what a strong boy[00:00:10]
And when you were born they looked at you and said[00:00:16]
What a good girl what a smart girl what a pretty girl[00:00:21]
We've got these chains that hang around our necks[00:00:27]
People want to strangle us with them before we take our[00:00:32]
First breath[00:00:36]
Afraid of change afraid of staying the same[00:00:38]
When temptation calls we just look away[00:00:43]
This name is the hairshirt I wear[00:00:49]
And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair[00:00:53]
This song is the cross that I bear[00:01:00]
Bear it with me bear with me bear with me[00:01:04]
Be with me tonight[00:01:10]
I know that it isn't right[00:01:15]
But be with me tonight[00:01:21]
I go to school I write exams[00:01:24]
If I pass if I fail if I drop out does anyone give a damn [00:01:28]
And if they do they'll soon forget[00:01:35]
'Cause it won't take much for me to show that my life ain't over yet[00:01:40]
I wake up scared I wake up strange[00:01:47]
I wake up wondering if anything in my life[00:01:51]
Is ever going to change[00:01:55]
I wake up scared I wake up strange[00:01:58]
And everything around me stays the same[00:02:05]
This name is the hairshirt I wear[00:02:10]
And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair[00:02:12]
This song is the cross that I bear[00:02:20]
Bear it with me bear with me bear with me[00:02:24]
Be with me tonight[00:02:29]
I know that it isn't right[00:02:34]
But be with me tonight[00:02:47]
I couldn't tell you that I was wrong[00:02:49]
Chickened out grabbed a pen and paper sat down and I wrote this song[00:02:54]
I couldn't tell you that you were right[00:03:00]
So instead i looked in the mirror watched tv laid awake all night[00:03:05]
We've got these chains that hang around our necks[00:03:12]
People want to strangle us with them before we take our[00:03:16]
First breath[00:03:21]
Afraid of change afraid of staying the same[00:03:23]
When temptation calls [00:03:27]
This name is the hairshirt I wear[00:03:34]
And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair[00:03:37]
This song is the cross that I bear[00:03:45]
Bear it with me bear with me bear with me[00:03:49]
Be with me tonight[00:03:54]
When I was born they looked at me and said[00:03:57]
What a good boy what a smart boy what a strong boy[00:04:02]
And when you were born they looked at you and said[00:04:08]
What a good girl what a smart girl what a pretty girl[00:04:14]
Hey[00:04:17]
