Lyrics

I get a calling time of day
I beat a lot a lot of crime away
There's nothing baby I can't take
With that crime I'm gonna make your body ache
It's no kind of big deal
No Carnegie steel
I don't feel like no heel
When I'm born
Said I'm born
Yeah I'm born
And I'm born to kill
Said I'm born
Yeah I'm born
Y'know I'm born
Well, I'm born to kill
Jet along and jive my back
Don't tread on my toes and don't skivvy my back
Cheddar bone chops you real fine fine fine
Well, take a chance honey you can be mine
It's no kind of big deal
No Carnegie steel
I don't feel like no heel
Said I'm born
Y'know I'm born
Yeah I'm born
Well, I'm born to kill
Said I'm born
Y'know I'm born
Yeah I'm born
Well, I'm born to kill
Born to kill
Born to kill
Born to kill
Born to kill
