Living in the slums,
That’s where I grew up.
Talking with the bums,
And drinking blood from my cup.
There was nothing else to live for,
And nowhere else to turn.
From the first day of my life,
I was born to burn

Sleeping in the gutter,
And keeping what I stole.
There was Samaritan in the corner,
Preaching gun control.
There was nothing else to live for,
There was nowhere else to turn.
From the first day of my life,
I was born to burn.

You’re stuck in a society,
That’s eating at your soul.
And you’re fighting for you’re life,
To regain control.
There is nothing else to live for,
There is nowhere else to turn.
From the first day of your life
You were born to burn.

There is a fire in our hearts,
That keeps us from the light.
A fire whose smoke,
Comes and blinds our sight.
You’re fighting for your life,
There is nowhere left to turn,
From the first day of your life,
You were burn to burn.

Satan’s laughing at me.
He’s enjoying my fate.
There’s fire all around me.
And I think it’s too late.
There’s nothing left to live for.
There’s nowhere left to turn.
And I’m stuck here in Hell,
‘Cause I was born to burn.

You’re damned if you do,
You’re damned if you don’t,
You’re damned if you will,
You’re damned if you won’t.
Life is just a game,
That’s difficult to learn,
‘Cause from the first day of your life,
You were born to burn.
