Lyrics

Born Innocent

[Verse 1] [Jeff McDonald:]

When I was 15

I hated school

Knew what I wanted to do

Bought a fake Stratocaster just 40 bucks used

I wrote a song

Played a show

Quit the only job that I'd ever know

I rejected your old fashion blues and it's dues

[Chorus] [both:]

We are born - born innocent

We all are - born innocent

We are born - born innocent

We all are born innocent

Original innocence

[Verse 2] [Steve McDonald:]

When I was just 10

I joined the school band

So that I could begin

The relentless campaign

For a bass

Knew our parents

Would likely givе in

I thrived

Survived

Hollywood is not the placе for a child

Unless you're in a punk band

You'd succumb to the wild

[Chorus] [both:]

We are born - born innocent

We all are - born innocent

We are born - born innocent

We all are born innocent

Original innocence

[Bridge] [both:]

It was time to defect

That land locked void today

Take the swamp highway

North past Inglewood

[Chorus] [both:]

Oh!

We are born - born innocent

We all are - born innocent

We are born - born innocent

We all are born innocent

We are born - born innocent

We all are - born innocent

We are born - born innocent

We all are born innocent

All born innocent

All born innocent

All born innocent

All born innocent

We are all born innocent

We are all born innocent

We are all born innocent

We are all born innocent

We are all born innocent
