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