Ready to Die lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was born with the sun in my eyes
January of '35
I was born in my lover's arms
I was born way too warm

[Chorus]
I was born ready to die
I was born ready to die
I was born ready to die
I was born ready to die

[Verse 2]
I was born with a rock in my shoe
I was born way too soon
I was found in the woods in the dirt
Face down in a paisley shirt

[Chorus]
I was born ready to die
I was born ready to die
I was born ready to die
I was born...

[Instrumental Bridge]
[Verse 3]
I was born in a violet light
Sniffin' sand off a paper knife
I was born with a gun in my face
I was born in outer space
I was born with a rotten tooth
I was born in a navy suit
I was born with a gun in my hand
Shootin' fires in a distant land

[Chorus]
I was born ready to die
I was born ready to die
I was born ready to die
I was born...

[Instrumental Outro]
