i was born on the other side
of a town ripped in two
and no matter how hard i try
i end up black and blue
i rose from off of the doctor's slab
i lost a piece of my heart
now everyone gets to take a stab
they cut me up into parts
i gave a piece to my mother
i gave a piece to my man
i gave a piece to the rockstar
he took the good stuff
and ran.
