Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He paints his peaceful town
As the sun goes down for a nap
He finished top of his class
And long months have passed in a blink
[Verse 2]
Him and his friends on a train to Longmoore
Playing cards while nervously laughing, knowing this is it
[Verse 3]
Could have been you
Could have been me
Could have been born in '23
What do you know?
What to believe?
Could have been born in '23
[Verse 4]
Such a quiet night
Just does not feel right on patrol
Then a pair of eyes
Filled with tears of fright in the dark
[Verse 5]
Could have been you
Could have been me
Could have been born in '23
What do you know?
What to believe?
Could have been born in '23
[Verse 6]
Born in '23
Born in '23
Could have been born in '23
[Verse 7]
Now they tell him he doesn't have a choice
So his future is fading
And he's lost his voice
[Verse 8]
No, he doesn't have a choice
It's your or him and he's gonna pull the trigger now
[Verse 9]
Could have been you
Could have been me
Could have been born in '23
What do you know?
What to believe?
Could have been born in '23
[Verse 10]
No, he doesn't have a choice
(Born in '23) He doesn't have a voice
(Born in '23) Could have been you or me
Could have been born in '23
