Born To Be Sold

From Elvis Presley to Marilyn

Cassius Clay to Billy The Kid

From Jackie O to JFK

Little Richard and Lady Day

Everyone played a different role, baby

They were born to be sold

They were born to be sold

They were born to be sold

Now all I know is all I see

And what I am, I choose to be

I don't need no one to bleed for me

I'm gonna make my own history

Here come the news

Here come the news, baby

Here come the news

Alright

I was born to be sold

All you hotshot, big-buck

Sweet-talkin', sidewalkin'

Foot-tappin', tail-waggin'

Backstabbin', money-grabbin'

Slaves of gold

I'm tellin' you

I don't need to be told

I cross my heart, rock my soul, baby

I was born to be sold

I was born to be sold

I was born to be sold

I was born to be sold

From Valentino to Fontaine

Al Capone to John Wayne

From Harley D to Lenny Bruce

Harry Dean to Betty Blue

From Sister Sue to Judy T

Marty Wilde to Morrissey

From Johnny Rotten to Charlie Chaplin

Madonna, Chaplin to little Satin

And back to Elvis and Marilyn

Sugar Ray and Billy The Kid

Jackie O, JFK

Little Richard and Lady Day

I was born to be sold

I was born to be sold

I was born to be sold

I was born to be sold
