Lyrics The Worst Year of My Life - The Wild Swans

The Worst Year of My Life

I was born guilty
And I’ll die lonely
For the hours have chained me
And the years they break me
For the past betrayed us
And this nation’s failed us
On the poor man’s promise
Is a lie’s that’s honest
Oh lord, this is the worst year of my life
Oh lord, this is the worst year of my life
You were born hungry
And you’ll die angry
And if life has failed you
Leave the cross you’re nailed to
You belong to no one
And you owe nothing
There’s no golden future
Just an open wound there
Oh lord, this is the worst year of my life
Oh lord, this is the worst year of my life
