Travis Morrison - Born In '72 lyrics

Born in '72 Safe from smallpox, polio too My dad got blinded by mumps at five And my grandma barely made it alive past ten And i was born with many a friend My man from way back called me again And he said it's hard to meet folks in school And he knows he really sounded cool But hey What did i say? Oh hey Now what did i do? Well there ain't no way i could ever have a clue Born caucasian, it's true I'm white, and it's a good thing too - Cos i don't get pulled over by the cops And if ever then it's one that stops, not three I'm born as male as can be Well, i'm still more important than she My friend got pa**ed over for a raise And she said she thought she'd sue for days But hey Now what did i say? Oh hey What did i do? We're always paid more even if less sk**ed Can't ask for more so we're unfulfilled You break apart everything you build You had it right here, you still do Through and through Now don't look at me, i'm a thankful man But i still don't do all the things i can Some call it guilt, i say fear Both are queer, yeah (ladies and gentlemen, on the drums, jason mcgirr) Born in '72 A mom that loved me, a dad i knew They lived their lives for the sis and i And they told us that if we could try we could... And i'm born to everything good For reasons still not understood You wonder how the price'll get paid And you end up living life afraid
