Song Description

a romping curse at the past

Lyrics

Born Yesterday

I wasn't born yesterday
sometimes I wish I'd been
maybe then I wouldn't have all these
fucked up memories
constantly swimming 'round in my head

I've got to find myself a new past
I need some new memories
I've got to find myself a new past
got to get a new past
find a new past
Oh don't you know I need a new history

I didn't just get off the boat
sometimes I wish I'd done
maybe then I wouldn't wake up baby
in a cold cold cold sweat
dreaming 'bout all the shit I did wrong

I've got to find myself a new past
I need some new memories
I've got to find myself a new past
got to get a new past
find a new past
Oh don't you know I need a new history

Maybe I should have some kind of chip implanted
deep inside my brain
one that'll give me a bunch of new memories
but keep my personality the same
you see I like me I just don't like what I done
I like me just not where I come from
my present's cool and my future looks great
It's my past I fucking hate

I wasn't born Yesterday
some times I wish I'd been
maybe then I wouldn't wake up baby
in a c-c-c-c-cold sweat dreaming 'bout
all the shit I did wrong


I've got to find myself a new past
I need some new memories
I've got to find myself a new past
got to get a new past
find a new past
Oh don't you know I need a new history
Oh don't you know I need a new history
Oh don't you know I need a new history

I said yeah

Find a new past
