I am born to hang
that's all healthy news
in a nutshell this means that
I never have to live like you

I am born to hang
but not to have kids
and to never be wed - no,
to someone whom I don't even love

and the noose eventually hangs

when you're born
when you're born to hang
time is so strange
and love doesn't come
no, or it comes then it comes too late

and the song that we sing
it rings in our heads
it's flowing with dread
because it's all that we know

hang the noose, let it not be loose

when you're born to hang
time is so strange
and love doesn't come
or it comes it comes too late

and the song that we sing
it sings in our heads
and it's flowing with dread
because it's all we know

and the world is flowing in our head
