Born to hopeful children, a worried little man The Trail of Tears and Viet Nam and goddamned Ayn Rand So often overwrought, lost off in thought by the time that I turned nine Bet a dollar to a donut, I would never be fine and now I'm Climbing the floor and gettin' over it And gettin' on down After all, I'll be standing tall or fallin' down or crawlin It's all on the ground I been knocked down and I been left alone I been caste out, I been sung about, and I been loved up on And I been rollin' in the dough for no more than sittin' on my butt Now I could no more pay back what I owe than I don't know what, and I am Climbing the floor and gettin' over it And gettin' on down After all, I'll be standing tall or fallin' down or crawlin It's all on the ground Had a lot and lost it. A lot of what I don't know Bet I do know that I been sittin' pretty and you know I been lying lo(w) and behold it all together come apart Found it hard to get ahead. Got a heart instead and started Climbing the floor and gettin' over it And gettin' on down After all, I'll be standing tall or fallin' down or crawlin It's all on the ground Born to hopeful children I was born to hopeful children
