Not By Birth lyrics

Song information

Artist: Morning Again
Album: Hand Of The Martyr

Lyrics

I owe you nothing
I pay tribute to no image or symbol
That stands for what I cannot support
Shunning the needs of common man
And all of those it was meant to help
A dollar to a prison
A dime to a man in need
A priority misunderstood
As the country goes it's way

I owe nothing to this which
I never chose to belong
I refuse to claim the name
Of a label stolen with no regard

Not by birth

Confusion sets in to those who close off
Opportunity. self proclaimed inheritors
Deny these rights to others
I have no place with you, so don't extend your hand
You embrace me only to watch me, not to include me
