Born On The Floor - The Make-Up

I was born, I was born

I was born, I was born on the floor

I was born, I was born

I was born, I was born on the floor

I was born in 1979

I was just a look in my daddy’s eye

I put it into my mama’s mind

To push me through her thighs

I was enraged

With the black ops sent by the CIA

I was packing things for Angola;

She said «No, you’re just an embryo!»

When I came into this world

I wanted to be premature

I said «Mama, I gotta come out soon!»

I kicked against the womb

I was born in 1961

I was born to be a son of a gun

A hot day in Dallas, my mother’s water broke

Contractions started, but I was late to the show

I was born in 1917

When the guns of October sowed my seed

I was born in 1908

When my battleship was sittin' at the dock of the bay

When I came into this world

I wanted to be premature

I kicked against the womb

I said «Mama, I wanna come out soon!»

But by the time I was out

It was twilight;

we were shut down

They cut my umbilical cord

And left me there;

I was born on the floor

I put that thought

Into my mother’s mind

And I put that look

Into my daddy’s eye

I said «Mama

You must create

A terrible baby they all fear

Who destroys the State.»

She delivered a bundle of joy

So full of righteous hate

But by delivery time

They spanked my behind and it was too late

When I came into this world

I wanted to be premature

I kicked against the womb

I said «Mama, I gotta come out soon!»

But by the time I was out

It was twilight;

we were shut down

I was born, I was born

I was born, I was born on the floor

When I came into this world

I wanted to be premature

I kicked against the womb

I said «Mama, I gotta come out soon!»

But by the time I was out

It was twilight;

we were shut down

They cut my umbilical cord

And left me there;

I was born on the floor

I was born, I was born

I was born, I was born on the floor

I was born, I was born, I was born

Well, I was born, I was born on the floor

Whoa, born

Well I was born on the floor
