Born on the wrong side of time Even your best friend Is ready to watch you die You don't want to live on the street So you've got to sweat till you're dead To make ends meet Born on the wrong side of time Your days are so cold That you curse just something to cry That you should be living in fear When you cry out Your friends just don't want to hear And you dream of the day When the great mastertime Will call us to his side And you watch your brothers Shake with fear as they watch His serpentine eye And you can smell their fear As they stand and curse The fact that they're alive Born on the wrong side of time Pretend to yourself That some day you'll do just fine You know that you live through a lie You'll only find out what went wrong When the sun makes us cry
