We've been born in the wrong time
We're children of the future robbed from us
We only know each other by sight1
We met each other like two birds of passage
For you going in desperation
For you going in a rush
We're just like caged animals
We're the same, only anxiety moves us
We've grown up with clenched fists
We're the masters of an imaginary country
I'm asleep with my eyelids sealed
You're hung up2 like Christ upside down
For you going in desperation
For you going in a rush
We're just like caged animals
We're the same, only anxiety moves us
They want to see us domesticated, trained, anaesthetised
For you going in desperation
For you going in a rush
We're just like caged animals
We're the same, very little moves us apart from anxiety
We've been born in the wrong time
We've been born in the wrong time
We've been born in the wrong time
We've been born in the wrong time
1. This could be past tense2. Could mean 'spaced out'
