Lyrics

Born Dead

[Verse 1: Shane Told, Scott Wade]

You call this a privilege

(No, I call it a right)

There's no respect for life

(No compromising)

Coverage denied (Coverage denied)

So sit behind your desk and

Tell me how I'm supposed to feel inside

You know I'm slowly dying

How long I have left is for you to decide

[Chorus 1: Shane Told, with Scott Wade]

We keep on suffering everyday

We're victims of opportunity

One nation under God, they said

We are all born dead

[Verse 2: Shane Told, Scott Wade, both]

Dead and rotting bodies fill the

Fields in the east

There's no respect for life, it never stops

Is this what makes us free?

So flex your muscle as you

Barricade the whole world piece by piece

How long until the ocean

Overflows into our yards and streets?

[Chorus 2: Shane Told]

We keep on suffering everyday

We're victims of opportunity

One nation under God, they said

We are all pawns

We are all sheep

We are all born...

Dead!

[Bridge: Shane Told]

We can't escape this

Until we unify as one

I'll fight the sickness

Until my time has come

[Chorus 1: Shane Told, with Scott Wade]

We keep on suffering everyday

We're victims of opportunity

One nation under God, they said

We are all born dead

[Chorus 2: Shane Told, with Scott Wade]

We keep on suffering everyday

We're victims of opportunity

One nation under God, they said

We are all pawns

We are all sheep

We are all born dead!
