Got a set of golden handcuffs
Got a set of golden chains
Live in a prison called a penthouse
Where the inmates drink champagne

Got a set of plastic handcuffs
Got a set of plastic chains
Live in a prison called a slum
But it wouldn’t matter if that was to change

Because you were born to fail
You were born to fail
You were born you were born
You were born to fail

You’re doing a lot of time
About seventy years
And it’s full of suffering
And strife and stress and fear

You’re doing a lot of time
About seventy years
And it’s full of suffering
And strife and stress and fear

And you were born to fail
You were born to fail
You were born you were born
You were born to fail
You were born to fail
You were born to fail
You were born to fail
