That's What We Were Born For ©
Verse 1:
You say we were always born for somethin’
Somethin’ great, somethin’ wholesome
But we’re not powerful
We’re not happy
So where’s the sense in that? (Where’s the sense that?)
Bridge:
Are we really livin’?
When we’ve got nothing to live for?
And are we really breathin’?
When we hold it in at the door
Chorus:
What were we born for?
How do we make it through?
Without knowin’
Just what we’re meant to do (in this place)
And oh, how will we ever survive?
When all we do is strive,
To be the best we can be?
So it’s nothin’
I guess that’s what we were born for.
Verse 2:
When you told me that to live
You have to be happy
But I’m not happy and I’m livin’
So stop spinning this shit
It’s getting harder and getting steeper
And you keep telling to carry on
How do you carry on when you’re not really living?
Tell me or forever hold your peace (forever hold your peace)
Bridge:
Are we really livin’?
When we’ve got nothing to live for?
And are we really breathin’?
When we hold it in at the door
Chorus:

How do we make it through?

And oh, how will we ever survive?
When all we do is strive,
To be the best we can be?
So it’s nothin’

End verse thing:
What is this, you present in front of me
Like you know, who I am?
And who are you to tell me
How to live my goddamn life?
Well I say fuck it,
This isn’t the way you planned it
You just wanted it too badly
And you did everything you could to get it
Is that what we were born for?
I said, IS THAT WHAT WE WERE BORN FOR?
Chorus:
What were we born for?
How do we make it through?
Without knowin’
Just what we’re meant to do (in this place)
