Never Born To Be Wild

(アルバム： Ready For The World - 1977)

I was born a disciplined child
Never knew how I got so wild
I was born a disciplined child
Never knew how I got so wild

When I used to go to school
They taught me the golden rule
They said "Son you better know yourself
'Cause in times to come, it's gonna be dread"

I didn't heed this advice
Now I've got to pay the price
I didn't heed this advice
Now I've got to pay the price

Now I'm on death row, only one place to go
Now I'm on death row, only one place to go

Oh ma, I wish you were around
To see how they tracked me down
Oh ma, I wish you were around
To see how they tracked me down

They had me cornered in a little alley
A thousand shot guns over me
I never stood a chance, I didn't want to die
I had to reach for the sky

Now I'm on death row, only one place to go
Now I'm on death row, only one place to go
