Pixies - Born In Chicago lyrics

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 is going to 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 is going to go 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 going to stay the same
