Born Dead Lyrics by Death

Leprosy (Deluxe Reissue)

1988

[Verse 1]
Brought to this world to wither away
Naive about the ways of life is what they say
Millions live millions die, more are yet to come
Living skeletons find where they come from

[Chorus]
Born dead into this world
To starve and rot in agony
Born dead into this world
It's their choice, why can't you see

[Post-Chorus]
Wahh!
Life of misery
Soon a corpse you be
As bones show through
Nothing you can do
Ooh-wahh!

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Relief does not exist
When you are born to die

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Disease spreads fast across their dying world
Many cemeteries they will have to build
As process goes on for many years to come
A human waste land created when they are done

[Chorus]
Born dead into this world
To starve and rot in agony
Born dead into this world
It's their choice, why can't you see
