The Proclaimers - Born Innocent Lyrics

We're born innocent, found guilty
Living life is treated like a crime
We're born innocent, found guilty everytime
Our best never beats our worst
Its a funny as it's perverse
We're born innocent, found guilty everytime

Blame parents blame religion
And the papers and the television
Blame ourselves for causing pain
We love to blame
We ditch the things that we make
Us hate ourselves
Just to replace them with something else
We're born innocent, found guilty everytime
Make claim and counter claim
Bribe the jury, and it's still the same
Their verdicts already in you can't win

Make claim and counter claim
Bribe the jury, and it's still the same
Their verdicts already in you can't win

We're born innocent, found guilty
Living life is treated like a crime
We're born innocent, found guilty everytime
Our best never beats our worst
Its a funny as it's perverse
We're born innocent, found guilty everytime
