Lyrics Born On The Floor - The Make-Up

Born On The Floor

I was born, I was born
I was born, I was born on the floor
I was born, I was born
I was born, I was born on the floor
I was born in 1979
I was just a look in my daddy’s eye
I put it into my mama’s mind
To push me through her thighs
I was enraged
With the black ops sent by the CIA
I was packing things for Angola;
She said «No, you’re just an embryo!»
When I came into this world
I wanted to be premature
I said «Mama, I gotta come out soon!»
I kicked against the womb
I was born in 1961
I was born to be a son of a gun
A hot day in Dallas, my mother’s water broke
Contractions started, but I was late to the show
I was born in 1917
When the guns of October sowed my seed
I was born in 1908
When my battleship was sittin' at the dock of the bay
When I came into this world
I wanted to be premature
I kicked against the womb
I said «Mama, I wanna come out soon!»
But by the time I was out
It was twilight;
we were shut down
They cut my umbilical cord
And left me there;
I was born on the floor
I put that thought
Into my mother’s mind
And I put that look
Into my daddy’s eye
I said «Mama
You must create
A terrible baby they all fear
Who destroys the State.»
She delivered a bundle of joy
So full of righteous hate
But by delivery time
They spanked my behind and it was too late
When I came into this world
I wanted to be premature
I kicked against the womb
I said «Mama, I gotta come out soon!»
But by the time I was out
It was twilight;
we were shut down
I was born, I was born
I was born, I was born on the floor
When I came into this world
I wanted to be premature
I kicked against the womb
I said «Mama, I gotta come out soon!»
But by the time I was out
It was twilight;
we were shut down
They cut my umbilical cord
And left me there;
I was born on the floor
I was born, I was born
I was born, I was born on the floor
I was born, I was born, I was born
Well, I was born, I was born on the floor
Whoa, born
Well I was born on the floor
