"Born In The Right Country" lyrics

"Born In The Right Country"

I am your new king
Can't you see the teeth laid in this crown?
The past now is present
I am the inside and you're out

I'll tell you baby a secret
Manufactured truth is easy to sell
When you own the factory
And you own the hearts of the clientele

Can you really blame me
Built on a system where some must fail
So that you can break through
If you've got the right skin
Or you're born in the right country
Or you're born in the right country

Don't you know you're lucky, kid?
You were raised on the right side of town
Born rich now you're yelling
"I've seen the inside and you're out"

But can I truly blame you?
We're built on the dreams we feed to the poor
So that you can break through
If you've got the right name
Or you've got the right god
Or you're born in the right country
Or you're born in the right country
