And bury me at birth

Before I can open my eyes

Nine inches in the earth

And only broken mother cries

With heavy cocaine tears

Weighing on her most precious steps

Hideously shamed mirrors

Reflecting  her shallowing depths

 And bury me at five

At the side of my only friend

We aren't meant to survive

With the difference in our skin

Risky in this day of age

But we are sure too young to tell

It costs a riot's rage

That will ring a sullen church bell

And bury me at nine

With just a nickel to my will

Laying at a stop sign

A city street at a stand still

When a man's running late

Supporting two kids and a wife

Prayed for a different fate

And closes his eyes to a life

And bury me a teen

Sunken in my darkest nightmares

A suicide wet dream

Cannot stand the degrading stares

The scars on my body

Are getting sharper everyday

Will someone please stop me?

Don't tell me it's the only way

And bury me twenty

Draped and dressed in red, white and blue

Shipped from across the sea

Laying down myself for what's true

And even if I'm wrong

I'll die a hero of glory

And they'll sing me a song

And never forget my story

And bury me old age

With a leather couch still attached

Retirement's a cage

And no love was the perfect catch

Pasts just a windowsill

If the bitterness don't get me

The emphysema will

I'm just a product of self pity

And bury me, the dead

Cause' this world is a murder

Lessons drilled through my head

And teacher is a sheep herder

Turn away, say, 'god damn'�

As dreams are covered by the earth

I'll suffer the time of man

Unless you bury me at birth
