Born to Die Lyrics

Born to die, and you get to sit and watch your TV set.
Believe the lies before your eyes, credit cards & apple pies!
50 stars to blind your eyes, 13 stripes to hypnotize!
Free thought is gone, you'll never see your just a pawn.
You'll die tomorrow but today your empty dreams just fade away,
Evaporate, dissolve to hate, while you survive and wait until a lifeless fate.
Your stupid lives just piddle on.
You slave for others, and then your gone.
I just can't escape the lying,
Moment we are born we're dying,
And it's such an ugly sight.

We have no rights.
We have no future.
No reasons why...
Just born to die. Oh.

Your dumb self can't appreciate the freedom in my thought,
The weak sense of autonomy when I'm tripping in my squat.
That empty void was never filled,
But the dreams of others you helped kill...
You justify. Will linger on.
Don't you know your dreams all die the day your born?

We have no god!
There's only ignorant bliss.
No reasons why...
We're born to die. Oh. (were born to die)

We have no rights.
We have no future.
No reasons why...
We are born to die. Just born to die. Oh.

Going to bed, god is dead, lies & truth are in my head.
Your history, society, economy... it isn't me.
It's all on you, reality, it's what you do, it's what you make.
The truth in lies, the freedom dies.
The mind it numbs, the spirit breaks!
With all our rights,
It kills our future.
Our reasons why:
We are born to die. Just born to die.Oh.

Choking Victim was an American punk band from 1992 to 1999, formed in New York City. The band became notable around "C-squat," in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where they squatted and continue to inhabit and organize shows for their music, which blended ska punk with Black Metal, and Anarchist lyrics.

They also became known for Satanic imagery and numerous references to the vagrant lifestyle, such as crack-smoking, shoplifting, and squatting. They also, like many other bands in the punk scene, have violent anti-police sentiments in their songs. The band prides itself on its Atheist stance, often making sardonic references to Satan, for the sole purpose of being offensive.

Choking Victim broke up after the first day of recording for their one and only album, but the recordings from that one day were enough to make a solid album. After they broke up, Stza and Ezra Crack formed the band Leftöver Crack, and Skwert and Ezra formed INDK. Sascha has spent the last several years organically farming in upstate NY.
