lyrics

Born and raised taught to hate and learned to fight.
Daddy left, Mommy drank. No choices left in life.
Fend for yourself; live by yourself. Out on the streets.
No where to turn. No one to pick you back up your feet.

Turn to drink; turn to drug. Been this way for too long.
Daddy’s dead; Mom blames herself. Can’t say she’s wrong.
But worse still, you could change and take control.
You have a choice to make amends. It’s not your fault.

Story’s the same; history repeats. We can’t we learn?
We should see the same patterns at every turn.
A different year; a different place; a different name.
A different drink; a different drug, but always the same.

When you’ve grown you look back and think “why me?”
It’s how you’re raised, how you’re brought up. Can you find peace?
You blame your past. You blame your anyone, but yourself.
But you have a choice; change your fate; ask for help.

Set up to fail. We’re born to die.
But you’re in charge of your own life.
Set up to fail. We’re born to die.
But you’re in charge of your own life.
