Lyrics

Yeah, man made powers Stood like a tower, higher, higher, hello And the higher you go, you feel lower, oh I was close to the end Staying undercover, staying undercover With a nose to the ground, I found my sound Got myself an interview tomorrow I got myself a jacket for a dollar And my nails are chipped, but I'm eager And the car doesn't work, so I'm stuck here Yeah, I don't wanna live for tomorrow I push my life today I throw this in your face when I see ya I got something to say I throw this shit in your face when I see ya 'Cause I got something to say I was born free (born free) I was born free (born free) Born free, born free Born free, born free You could try to find ways to be happier You might end up somewhere in Ethiopia You can think big with your idea You ain't never gonna find Utopia Take a bite out of life, make it snappier, yeah Ordinary gone super trippier So I check shit 'cause I'm lippier Oh, split a Czech like Slovakia Yeah, I don't wanna live for tomorrow I push my life today I throw this in your face when I see you 'Cause I got something to say I throw this shit in your face when I see you 'Cause I got something to say I was born free (born free) I was born free (born free) I was born free (born free) I was born free (born free) Born free, born free Born free, born free, oh, oh I don't wanna talk 'bout money 'cause I got it And I don't wanna talk 'bout hoochies 'cause I've been it And I don't wanna be that fake, but you can do it And imitators, yeah, speak it Oh, Lord, whoever you are Yeah, come out wherever you are Oh, Lord, whoever you are Yeah, come out wherever you are (and tell 'em) I was born free (born free) I was born free (born free) I was born free (born free) I was born free (born free) Born free, born free Born free, born free
