Born in '72

born in '72
 safe from smallpox and polio too
 my dad got blinded by mumps at five
 and grandma barely made it alive past ten
 I was born with many a friend
 my man from way back
 called me again
 and he said it's hard to meet folks at school
 and he knows who really smells cool
 Chorus
 but hey
 what could I say?
 oh hey
 now what could I do?
 Well there ain't anyway I could ever have a clue
 on occasion it's true
 I'm white, and it's a good thing too
 so don't get pulled over by the cops
 in (?) one who stops
 not three
 and boy, as (?) can be
 my arms still more important than she
 my friend got passed over a raise
 and she said she thought she'd sue for days
 Chorus
 when I'm always paid more even if less skilled
 can't ask for more so I'm unfulfilled
 you break apart everything you build
 you had it right here and you still do
 through and through
 don't look at me I'm a faithful man
 but I still don't do all things I can
 some call it guilt
 I call it fear
 both are queer
 yeah
 ladies and gentleman, on the drums, Jason McGurr
 born in '72
 my momma loved me
 that I knew
 they lived their life
 for the sis and I
 and they told us if we try
 we could
 and I'm born to everything good
 for reasons still not understood
 you wonder how the price will get paid
 and you end up living afraid
 oh yeah
 yeah
 alright
 yeah
 woo
 I'll fuckin' kill you!
