Lyrics

[Verse 1] We were born to sin We were born to sin We don't think we're special, sir We know everybody is We built too many walls Yeah, we built too many walls And now we gotta run A giant fist is out to crush us [Verse 2] We run in the dark We run in the dark We don't carry dead weight long We send them along to Heaven I carry my baby I carry my baby Her eyes can barely see Her mouth can barely breathe [Bridge] I can see she's afraid She can see the danger And we don't wanna die or apologize for our dirty god Our dirty bodies [Verse 3] Now I stick to the ground I stick to the ground I won't look twice at dead walls I don't want a white pillar of salt I carry my baby I carry my baby Her eyes can barely see Her mouth can barely breathe I can see she's afraid [Bridge] That's why we're escaping So we won't have to die We won't have to deny Our dirty god Our dirty bodies [Instrumental Outro]
