I Am Asking To Be Born

I am asking to be born...
I want to climb the mountains
and see a midnight sky.
I am asking to be born...
Why is my mother not listening to my cry?
She is going to the clinic
on the midnight train.

I'll be a good kid for her.
I'll do my homework every night...
I'll love my dad - be special; 
I am asking to be born...
Why is my mother not listening to my cry?
She is going to the clinic
to put me down the drain.
