Born To Be Hanged

If you're born to be hanged, you will never drown
If you're born to be hanged, you will never drown

We are born naked, wet and hungry
Then things only get worse
I realized this as a small child
And the ones who refuse to kill
Are often marked for death

The wise have learned more from fools
Than they have ever learned from the wise
I was taught this as a small child
When I watched the fools drown
As I stared down through the ice

For 35 years I've lived my life on thin fucking ice
But if they break that fucking ice and drag me down by my fucking neck
The abyss does not scare me
I knew my fate as a child

I was born to be hanged, I will never drown
