Born in the Right Place

We walked the streets to hire games Not to act them out When we were testing our might and laughing Others were screaming 'finish him' for real in a different timezone Twenty years on, and I still hear their screams Safely from my TV screen No end in sight Drinking beer with friends, learning nothing else matters Writing songs to find ourselves - to find our way But our teen angst cannot compare To those half a world away It doesn't seem fair Born in the right place at the right time Born in the right place at the right time Born in the right place at the right time Born in the right place at the right time
