Born in a War |
| It’s all so temporary |
| Life’s work, don’t play that way |
| Life’s more than cash and carry |
| All your guns, to your grave |
| Is it too much to carry? |
| Is it too much to ask you why? |
| I have a sinking feeling I know why |
| I have a sinking feeling I know |
| Born to an insensitive fool |
| You’ve been damned by |
| You’re scared |
| When a strong man cries |
| Is when a strong man dies |
| Raised up in a town that’s 80 proof |
| Shotgun shells under every roof -- every jail |
| Didn’t learn a lot from public schools |
| All our books went off to wars -- they could sell |
| Is it too much to carry? |
| Is it too much to run and hide? |
| And what's too much to bury? |
| Is it too much to ask you why? |
| I have a sinking feeling I know why |
| I have a sinking feeling I know |
| Swore you an impossible dream |
| You’ve been damned by |
| You swear |
| That when a strong man cries |
| Is when a strong man dies |
| You’re scared |
| That when a strong man cries |
| Is when a strong man dies |
| But a strong man cries |
| A strong man cries |
| Just look into this strong man’s eyes |
| Look into a strong man’s eyes |
| Look into a strong man's eyes |
| Raised up in a town that’s 80 proof |
| Shotgun shells under every roof |
| Bloody hell |
