lyrics

I was born in the wrong era,
Push back couldn't get much clearer,
Every day the waters nearer,
I gotta say, what I see.

I was born in the wrong place and time,
And in this life that is a crime,
It's a crime,
To live in,
The world’s best outdoor prison,
I'll see you all outside.

I was born on the wrong island,
I was meant to be Hawaiian,
Every day the waters rising,
I gotta say, what I see.

Poverty is all around me,
People cry, no job security,
While Eton makes a fool of me,
I gotta ask, what are we?

I was born in the wrong place and time,
And in this life that is a crime,
It's a crime,
To live in,
The world’s best outdoor prison,
I'll see you all outside.

I was born in the wrong era,
I was born in the wrong era,
I was born in the wrong era,
I was born in the wrong era,
I was born in the wrong era,
I was born in the wrong era,
I was born in the wrong era,
I was born in the wrong era.

I was born in the wrong place and time,
And in this life that is a crime,
It's a crime,
To live in,
The world’s best outdoor prison,
I'll see you all outside.
