[length: 04:50]
[00:04.00]When I was born, they looked at me and said
[00:08.87]”What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy”
[00:14.96]And when you were born, they looked at you and said
[00:19.98]”What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl”
[00:25.88]We’ve got these chains hanging around our necks
[00:30.64]People wanna strangle us with them before we take our first breath
[00:36.61]Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same
[00:42.04]When temptation calls, we just look away
[00:48.10]This name is the hairshirt I wear
[00:52.13]And this hairshirt is woven from your brown hair
[00:59.54]This song is the cross that I bear
[01:02.94]Bear with me, bear with me, bear with me
[01:08.55]Be with me tonight
[01:13.82]I know that it isn’t right
[01:20.06]But be with me tonight
[01:22.68]I go to school, I write exams
[01:27.46]If I pass, if I fail, if I drop out does anyone give a damn?
[01:34.19]And if they do, they’ll soon forget
[01:38.87]’Cause it won’t take much from me to show my life ain’t over yet
[01:45.25]I wake up scared, I wake up strange
[01:50.39]I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever gonna change
[01:56.95]I wake up scared, I wake up strange
[02:03.63]And everything around me stays the same
[02:08.92]It’s the hairshirt I wear
[02:11.59]And this hairshirt is woven from, it’s woven from, your brown hair
[02:19.07]This song is the cross that I bear
[02:22.44]Bear with me, bear with me, bear with me
[02:27.76]Be with me tonight
[02:33.16]I know that it isn’t right
[02:39.55]But be with me tonight
[02:48.51]I couldn’t tell you that I was wrong
[02:53.16]Chickened out, grabbed a pen and a paper, sat down and I wrote this song
[02:59.22]I couldn’t tell you that you were right
[03:03.98]So instead I looked in the mirror, I watched TV, laid awake all night
[03:10.33]We’ve got these chains hanging around our necks
[03:15.69]People wanna strangle us with them before we take our first breath
[03:21.51]Afraid of change, afraid of staying the same
[03:26.54]When temptation calls
[03:32.43]This name is the hairshirt I wear
[03:36.62]And this hairshirt is woven from, woven from your brown hair
[03:43.97]This song is the cross that I bear
[03:47.76]Bear with me, bear with me, bear with me
[03:52.75]Be with me tonight
[03:56.22]And when I was born, they looked at me and said
[04:01.27]”What a good boy, what a smart boy, what a strong boy”
[04:07.12]When you were born, they looked at you and said
[04:12.50]”What a good girl, what a smart girl, what a pretty girl”
[04:27.03]What a pretty girl
