Lyrics
Born down in a dead man’s town
– Nasci in oppido mortui
The first kick I took was when I hit the ground
– Primum calcitrare cepi cum ledo terram
End up like a dog that’s been beat too much
– Terminus sursum sicut canis qui suus been beat nimis
‘Til you spend half your life just coverin’ up, now
– ‘Donec dimidium habe vitam tuam sicut coverin’ sursum, nunc

– Ego habito in usa.

Got in a little hometown jam
– In casa sua pueros alunt educantque
So they put a rifle in my hand
– Tomo espada en mano,
Sent me off to a foreign land
– Fui in terra aliena
To go and kill the yellow man

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
– In umbra paenitentiarii
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
– De incendio carbonum a vento
I’m ten years burnin’ down the road
