i was born on the other side

of a town ripped in two

and no matter how hard i try

i end up black and blue

i rose from off of the doctor's slab

i lost a piece of my heart

now everyone gets to take a stab

they cut me up into parts

i gave a piece to my mother

i gave a piece to my man

i gave a piece to the rockstar

he took the good stuff

and ran.
