By Birth and Being
Bent to complacency
And lay flowers on my distress
Strip every sense of what is
Human from my being
Take the joy from youth
Give them a piece,
Sense of power or despair,
And watch the boys rot to men
By birth and being
Their burdened gifts of time
The rarest moments to reflect
Oh I can't recall
The wrong I've done
It's fleeting me
But I remember you,
My vengeful truth
Hold us starving,
Baren, folded, and abused
By birth and being
The blur of television
Or the blunt incision
Of materialism
To medicate our loss
A loss of self
In all the shit we're dealt
Savage by law
Savage convictions
Savages by birth and being
By birth and being
And lay flowers on my distress
Strip every sense of what is
Human from my being
Take the joy from youth
Give them a piece,
Sense of power or despair,
And watch the boys rot to men
By birth and being
Their burdened gifts of time
The rarest moments to reflect
Oh I can't recall
The wrong I've done
It's fleeting me
But I remember you,
My vengeful truth
Hold us starving,
Baren, folded, and abused
By birth and being
The blur of television
Or the blunt incision
Of materialism
To medicate our loss
A loss of self
In all the shit we're dealt
Savage by law
Savage convictions
Savages by birth and being
By birth and being
