I’m a simple man
with a simple plan
I eat and sleep
work hard to make ends meet
but someone better tell me
what the hell’s going on
has the world gone crazy
is sanity all gone
born to die
never need to fight
it’s just not part of the plan
from where I stand
life is just a lie
we’d hate another try
we’ve done everything we can
from where I stand
no one knows the truth
there’s got to be a way
a different kind of view
who knows what to say
it doesn’t really matter
we’re all flesh and blood
free from any colour
all in the name of God
born to die
never need to fight
it’s just not part of the plan
from where I stand
life is just a lie
we’d hate another try
we’ve done everything we can
from where I stand
madness on the brink
money controls what we see
and tells us what to think
it gives us power and greed
pain starts to rule the world
we sacrifice our future
we better start to change our ways
before it’s too late
solo
born to die
never need to fight
it’s just not part of the plan
from where I stand
life is just a lie
we’d hate another try
we’ve done everything we can
from where I stand
