Tom, is there any remorse within your heart for those people you've dealt in the past?
Those who came across your path in their life they've lost
And you replied, say
Circumstances made me what I am
Was I born a violent man?
Circumstances made me what I am
Everyone should understand
Circumstances made me what I am
Was I born a violent man?
Circumstances made me what I am
Everyone should know
May sound strange, might sound foolish
But things ain't getting better
Every day another fall victim to the bearer
Why is there so much violence killing me?
Let us learn to love and let that light shine brighter
But influence you, influence you
You can get far
As bad as bad man used to be, then respect the father
It's like no eyes, no ring, your lives, the times get harder
Me talk all night without me mind and still it's laughter
Circumstances made me what I am
Was I born a violent man?
Circumstances made me what I am
And everyone should know
When I try to cope, tell myself there is hope
It seems like the biggest joke
And as I put down the gun, still the lads must run
And no employment can come
And me, a German, a cool one, go back in the school
This is still like me
There's no hope for those who have not from the slum
Take the little much we have still hunting with them
I'm begging to show some love
When we get back, he replies
Circumstances made me what I am
Was I born a violent man?
Circumstances made me what I am
And everyone should know
When I know little cry, mama cry, papa cry too
Show on the boy with a heart and that could do
Who know they'll find him dead with a smith and wess
Six weeks and change now, me a remiss
Why so much violence, too much violence
It hurts my soul and I won't keep silent
Circumstances made me what I am
That was his reply, I cry
Circumstances made me what I am
Everyone should know
Me sound strange, might look foolish
But things are getting better
Every day another fall victim to the marital
Why is there so much violence?
Killing me, one hundred
And let us learn to love
And let that light shine brighter
Bad influence, you influence
And you'd send it slaughter
As bad as bad man used to be
And respect the father
He said, I'm not a bad man
I know I don't realize that times get harder.
I talk and I twit on my mind and still it's laughter.
Circumstances made me what I am.
Was I born a violent man?
Circumstances made me what I am.
Everyone should know now.
And when I try to cope, tell myself there is hope.
It seems like the biggest joke.
And as I put down the gun, collateral must run.
And no employment can come.
And me acting out cool, won't go back in the school.
The system lit me.
There's no overdose.
So I'm not from the slum.
Take the little much we have.
Still hunting we dunk.
Only if we show some love.
Only if we get back some now.
Circumstances made me what I am.
Was I born a violent man?
Circumstances made me what I am.
Every man should know.
Circumstances made me what I am.
Was I born a violent man?
