Blood Lines

What's it like to be all alone?
All by yourself in a broken home
Try not to be like mom and dad
Realize you're just fucked like them
All we bound to lose (bound to lose)
Maybe we just don't get to choose
Is it in our DNA? Was I just born this way? (Born this way)

I am not the one
I'm just another bastard son (a bastard son)
No matter what I do, you will never ever be like me
And I will never be like you (like you)

What do I try to say to everyone I meet?
Is it because they are just like me (just like me)
Same tracks, wrong side of the streets
Not typical in the way that we speak
When you always expect to lose
You don't give a fuck what they think of you
It's been in our DNA, are we just born this way?

I am not the one
I'm just another bastard son (a bastard son)
No matter what I do, you will never ever be like me
And I will never be like you

What have we become?
Why do we sacrifice the one's we love?
(Our daughters, our sons!)
No matter what I do, you will never ever be like me
And I will never be like you (like you)

You can't change what you were born into
Don't let it bury you
You can't change what you were born into
Don't let it, don't let it bury you
You can't change what you were born into
So let it bury you
You can't change what you were born into
Don't let it, don't let it bury you

I am not the one
I'm just another bastard son (a bastard son)
No matter what I do, you will never ever be like me
And I will never be like you

What have we become?
Why do we sacrifice the one's we love?
(Our daughters, our sons!)
No matter what I do, you will never ever be like me (be like me)
And I will never be like you
