Born In Chicago Lyrics - Singles - Pixies

I was born in Chicago 

1971 

I was born in Chicago 1970 

What my father told me, 

"Son, you'd better get a gun." 

My first friend went down 

When I was 16 years old 

Oh my first friend went down 

When I was 16 years old 

There's one thing I can say about that boy 

He gotta go 

My second friend went down 

When I was 17 years of age 

Oh my second friend went down 

When I was 17 years of age 

There's one thing I can say about that boy 

He gotta pray 

Oh life is a lie 

If you don't know how to play the game 

Oh life is a lie 

If you don't know how to play the game 

All my friends are going 

And everything's gonna stay the same
