Jesus called, He won't be coming for dinner tonight
Democracy cancelled out, some kind of fight
So tell me, how am I supposed to eat alone?
When all of my butlers have gone
Nannies have gone, yeah

On the morning of my birth
I must have wandered at the Earth
I must have seen the trees
Like Adam showed them to Eve
But now I am American and white
All I know is anxiety and fright
Now love is something I must search for
To find

Jesus called, He won't be coming for dinner now
Democracy cancelled out for the final time
I'm beggin' brothers and sisters
Cut your leashes free now

We were born branded
We were born branded
We were born branded
We were born second-handed down

Oh yeah

Shepherds in the field of reality
Blame the sheep for lost possibilities
The sheep may be lost
But the shepherd, he is just as lost

A shepherd is a man afraid of
Losing all the things he made up
To keep his feet planted high above the field

I'm talkin' 'bout mother, father, sister, brother, teacher, preacher
Anyone who dares to tell you where to stand
I say the love is in your hands
Just look at the world, don't try to understand

Jesus called, He won't be coming for dinner now
Democracy cancelled out for the final time
I'm beggin' brothers, sisters
Cut your leashes free now

We were born branded
We were born branded
We were born branded
We were born second-handed down

Oh yeah
Oh, oh...

Jesus called, He won't be coming for dinner now
Democracy cancelled out for the final time
I'm beggin' brothers and sister
Cut your leashes free now

We were born branded
We were born branded
We were born branded
We were born second-handed down
Oh yeah
Ahhh ahhh yeah
We were born branded
Oh yeah
Second-handed down
Oh
We were born branded
Oh yeah
Second-handed down
