I was born with the hammer down,
I was built for speed.

I came into the world as a reject
Look into these eyes
Then you'll see the size of the flames
That are pullin on my past
Burnin on my brain
Everyone that burns has to learn from the pain

I was born in a bunk
Mother died and my daddy got drunk
Left me here to die or grow

― Tim Ellison (Tim Ellison), Saturday, 25 September 2004 16:31 (twenty-one years ago)

I was...

born dead,
born to be wild
born in the USA
born to run
born to die
born annoying
born without a konscience,

I was born on olympus
To my father a son
I was raised by the demons
Trained to reign as the one

God of thunder and rock and roll
The spell you’re under
Will slowly rob you of your virgin soul

I was born in a crossfire hurricane.

I came into this world like a puzzled panther
Wanting to be caged
But something stood in the way
I was never quite tamed

I crossed the paths of right and wrong
And saw them take their toll
I saw armies that marched
And like animals they crawled

The Morris Crossfire Hurricane was an unsuccessful sports car of the 1950s.

Nice!

is that true, Noodle? I thought it was just Jagger fuckin' around with some oblique but atmospheric poetic license.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 25 September 2004 19:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I was born on the day that my poor mother died,
I was cut from her belly with a Stanley knife
And my daddy did a jig with the drunk midwife.

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Saturday, 25 September 2004 19:54 (twenty-one years ago)

was sayin let me out of here before I was
even born--it's such a gamble when you get a face
It's fascinatin to observe what the mirror does
but when I dine it's for the wall that I set a place

I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the ______ generation but
I can take it or leave it each time

Triangles were fallin at the window as the doctor cursed
He was a cartoon long forsaken by the public eye
The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first
The doctor grabbed my throat and yelled, "God's consolation prize!"

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 25 September 2004 19:54 (twenty-one years ago)

No, the sports car was a lie. I'm sorry. I had nothing.

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Saturday, 25 September 2004 19:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I was spawned in a ditch
By a mother who left me there,
Naked and cold and too hungry to cry;
I never blamed her.
I'm sure she left hoping
That I'd have the good sense to die!
Then, of course, there's my father...
I'm told that young ladies
Can point to their fathers
With maidenly pride;
Mine was some regiment
Here for an hour,
I can't even tell you which side!
So of course I became,
As befitted my delicate birth,
The most casual bride
Of the murdering scum of the earth!

― Cripps Pink of La Mancha (Jody Beth Rosen), Saturday, 25 September 2004 19:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I was born in a trunk
In the Princess Theatre in Pocatella, Idaho
It was during the matinee on Friday
And they used a makeup towel for my didee
When I first saw the light
It was pink and amber
Coming from the footlights on the stage
When my dad carried me out there to say hello
They told me that I stopped the show.

So I grew up in a crazy world of dressing rooms
And hotel rooms and waiting rooms
And rooms behind-the-scenes.
And I can't forget the endless rows
Of sleepless nights and eatless nights
And nights without a nickel in my jeans.

But it's all in the game and the way you play it
And you've got to play the game you know.
When you're born in a trunk at the Princess Theatre
in Pocatello, Idaho.

I was born of original sin
from a two-timing, hustling virgin.
Father, son, and the holy ghost,
I'm the sacred host with the most.

I was born in the wagon of a travelin' show
My mama used to dance for the money they'd throw
Papa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel, sell a couple bottles of Doctor Good

Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground

One-eyed soul
Mushroom head

I was born

― Lefty, Saturday, 25 September 2004 21:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Momma gripped on to the milkman's hand
And then she finally gave birth
Years go by, still I don't know
Who shall inherit this earth

I was born in the desert Raised in a lion's den
I was born in the desert Raised in a lion's den
Oh, my number one occupation is stealing women from their men

― Reed Moore (diamond), Saturday, 25 September 2004 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Mama had a epidural
Hoping I would be a girl
The night was black, the sky was blue
The darker clouds are showing noon
I heard screaming, the doctor shouts
Didn't give in,
I came out.
And here I am.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Saturday, 25 September 2004 21:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Well, the night I was born
Lord I swear the moon turned a fire red
The night I was born
I swear the moon turned a fire red
Well my poor mother cried out "lord, the gypsy was right!"
And I seen her, fell down right dead (have mercy)

Well, mountain lions found me there waitin'
And set me on a eagles back
Well, mountain lions found me there,
And set me on a eagles wing
(Its' the eagles wing, baby, what did I say)
He took me past to the outskirts of infinity,
And when he brought me back,
He gave me a venus witch's ring
And he said "Fly on, fly on"
Because I'm a voodoo chile, yeah, voodoo chile!
Hey!

Well. I'm up here in this womb
I'm looking all around
Well, I'm looking out my belly button window
And I see a whole lot of frowns
And I'm wondering if they don't want me around

What seems to be the fuzz out there?
Just what seems to be the hang?
'cause you know if ya just don't want me this time around,
Yeah I'll be glad to go back to spirit land
And even take a longer rest,
Before I'm coming down the chute again
Man, I sure remember the last time, baby
They were stlll hawkin' about me then
So if you don't want me now,
Make up your mind, where or when
If you don't want me now,
Give or take, you only got two hundred days
'cause I ain't coming down this way too much more again

You know they got pills for ills and thrills and even spills
But I think you're just a little too late
So I'm coming down into this world, daddy
Regardless of love and hate
And I'm gonna sit up in your bed, mama
And just a grin right in your face
And then I'm gonna eat up all your chocolates,
And say 'i hope I'm not too late'

So if there's any questions,
Make up your mind
'cause you better give or take
Questions in your mind
Give it a take,
You only got two hundered days

Way up into this womb
Looking all around
Sure's dark in here
And I'm looking out my belly button window
And I swear I see nothing but a lot of frowns
And I'm wondering if they want me around

i was born in this hotel room
washing dishes in the sink
magazines and free soda
trying hard not to think

― 6335, Monday, 27 September 2004 04:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Being born was the worst and the first mistake I ever made
The doctor didn’t spank me, he just slapped me in the face
And the cup of love was always quenching someone else's thirst
Leaving me to swallow the bitter taste of hurt
'Cause I was raised an orphan, never wanted as a kid
Until the year I turned 13, then everybody did
Strangers passed me back and forth, men just took me as they pleased
And others had a Cinderella slave to cook and clean and weep...

"Lord, I was born a ramblin' man"

I wish my baby it was born,
and lying on its father's knee
and I was dead and in my grave
With the green grass growing all over me.
