Born yesterday

Can´t shake the monkey on my back
Can´t lose my luggage in the friendly skies
Can´t tell the good guys from the bad
Can´t hear the music for the background noise

Wish i was born yesterday
Born yesterday
I would be naked in every sense
I would be blissful in innocence
If i was born yesterday

Can´t look a stranger in the eye
Can´t reach the knife between my shoulder blades
Can´t fall asleep for wondering why
Can´t keep awake to man the barricades

Wish i was born yesterday
Born yesterday
I would be naked in every sense
I would be blissful in innocence
If i was born yesterday

All this stuff inside my head
Wish i could remember to forget
I find my thrill but lose my thread again

Can´t say the words, they make me choke
Can´t hear the punchline for the joke
Can´t see the trees for all the smoke
Can´t feel the love
Cant feel the love for all the hate
Can´t taste the dinner i just ate
For all the ketchup on the plate

Wish i was born yesterday
Born yesterday
I would be naked in every sense
I would be blissful in innocence
If i was born yesterday
