The Worst Year of My Life - The Wild Swans

I was born guilty

And I’ll die lonely

For the hours have chained me

And the years they break me

For the past betrayed us

And this nation’s failed us

On the poor man’s promise

Is a lie’s that’s honest

Oh lord, this is the worst year of my life

Oh lord, this is the worst year of my life

You were born hungry

And you’ll die angry

And if life has failed you

Leave the cross you’re nailed to

You belong to no one

And you owe nothing

There’s no golden future

Just an open wound there

Oh lord, this is the worst year of my life

Oh lord, this is the worst year of my life
