What's it like to be all alone
All by yourself in a broken home?
Try not to be like mom and dad
Realize you're just fucked like them (like them)
Are we bound to lose? (Bound to lose)
Maybe we just don't get to choose
Is it in our DNA? Was I just born this way? (Born this way)

I am not the one
I'm just another bastard son (a bastard son)
No matter what I do, you will never ever be like me
And I will never be like you (like you)

Why do I try to save everyone I meet?
Is it because they are just like me? (Just like me)
Same tracks, wrong side of the street
Not typical in the way that we speak
When you always expect to lose
You don't give a fuck what they think of you
It's written in our DNA
Are we just born this way?

I am not the one
I'm just another bastard son (a bastard son)
No matter what I do, you will never ever be like me
And I will never be like you

What have we become?
Why do we sacrifice the ones we love? (Our daughters, our sons)
No matter what I do, you will never ever be like me
And I will never be like you (like you, like you, like you)

You can't change what you were born into
Don't let it bury you
You can't change what you were born into
Don't let it, don't let it bury you
You can't change what you were born into
Don't let it bury you
You can't change what you were born into
Don't let it, don't let it bury you

I am not the one
I'm just another bastard son (a bastard son)
No matter what I do, you will never ever be like me
And I will never be like you

What have we become?
Why do we sacrifice the ones we love? (Our daughters, our sons)
No matter what I do, you will never ever be like me (be like me)
And I will never be like you
