lyrics

I have been lied to
I have been lonely
Nothing you can say or do can change the past
I have been cheated
I have been beat down
I have been tied down and twisted and pissed off and jaded
Most all the things that surround me now
Remind me of yesterday
I swear to God, all the church bells in the world
They must have been broken
I was born at the wrong time to figure all of this out

I have been strung out
I have been wasted
I've been going through so many changes
I haven't learned much
And I haven't tasted
All the good things that are on the other side
Where the grass is always greener
And the air is always just a little cleaner
I swear to God, all the hearts that were in this world
They must have been broken
They must have been broken
They must have been broken
I was born at the wrong time to figure all of this out

Yet another piece of sarcasm in my oeuvre. I was listening to Paul Simon's album "Rhythm Of The Saints". He has this song called "Born At The Right Time". I thought: shit, that's cocky. So, I wrote this. I was looking around the room and thought about my record collection (which is ridiculously large). "Most all the things that surround me now remind me of yesterday" is about my record collection. And if I go to hell for "swearing to God"… well then I was born at the wrong time to go to hell.
