Simon And Garfunkel - Bookends lyrics

Born scarred, twisted and broken

Our mouths gagged before words are spoken

Spit into this life and thrown in this cage

They taught us our worth at a tender young age

After all that we've said

After all that we've done

After all that we fight for

They said that we were worthless

Punch in and punch out, give up and give out

Weary and broken, got no choice

Shackled and chained, to lives mundane

And die with nothing to show for it

After all that we've said

After all that we've done

After all that we fight for

They said that we were worthless
