Time is wasted on me but mom it will be all right

You've lost your faith in me but mom it will be all right

And the family will hold even though we're all sad

And the family will hold even though things turned out bad

And I will write a new song and I will sing it tonight

No one sings along but Mom it will be all right

And the family will hold even though we've lost the means

And the family will hold in this graceless, sad routine

Sad routine

'Cause I've always know that i was second born

But I hold my own like I am a first born son

First born son

Temperatures dropped inside but mom it'll be alright

It's time to swallow your pride but mom it'll be alright

And the family will hold and we'll pretend we're not hexed

And the family will hold though we don't know what comes next

What comes next

'Cause I've always know that I was second born

(Second born)

But I hold my own like I am a first born son, yeah yeah

Leave it alone but I am second born

(Second born)

I know what I am, and I am a first born son

A first born son

And I found me a girl and she's had a troubled life

And I will make a home and make a troubled girl my wife

And the family will hold and maybe we will have a son

And the family will hold and we'll say we've just begun

We've just begun

'Cause I've always know that I was second born

(Second born)

But hold my own like I am a first born son yeah

(First born son)

We leave it alone but I am second born

(Second born)

I know what I am, and I am a first born son

A first born son
