This is a cover of Born in The Slumber, originally written and performed by Flora Cash. It was one of my favourite tracks from the Death Stranding soundtrack and this is my rendition and composition.
lyrics
[Chorus]
We were born in a slumber, no one really cared about us
'Cept for our parents, parents, parents
The government's dead
We were born in a slumber, nobody cared about us
'Cept for our parents, parents, parents
The government's dead
[Verse 1]
You'll be alright, child, no healthcare, no education
'Cause we don't want the smart ones, yeah
You'll be alright, girl, don't choose what you do with your body
Please, somebody, save us
[Chorus]
We were born in a slumber, nobody cared about us
'Cept for our parents, parents, parents
The government's dead
We were born in a slumber, nobody cared about us
'Cept for our parents, parents, parents
The government's dead
[Bridge]
We already know, we've seen it before
They've been throwin' us crumbs, don't be askin' for more
You know what it's for, you know what it's for
You know what it's for
What if we got out? What if we went back?
Get somebody unstuck, get somebody untrapped
What if we held on? What if we stood strong?
What if we got out? Damn
[Chorus]
We were born in a slumber, nobody cared about us
'Cept for our parents, parents, parents
The government's dead
We were born in a slumber, nobody cared about us
'Cept for our parents, parents, parents
The government's dead
[Outro]
We were born in a slumber, no one really cared about us
'Cept for our parents, parents, parents
The government's dead
