Born To Be Sold

Transvision Vamp

From Elvis Presley to Marilyn 
Cassius Clay to Billy the Kid 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
From Jackie O to J.F.K.
Little Richard and Lady Day
Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
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 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Ooh ooh ooh ooh 
Here comes the news 
Here comes the news 
Baby, here comes the news, alright
I was born to be sold 
All you hot shot, big buck 
Sweet talking, side walking 
Foot tapping, tail wagging 
Back stabbing, money grabbing 
Slaves of gold 
I'm telling 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 Fonteyne
Al Capone to John Wayne 
From Harley D to Lenny Bruce 
Harry Dean to Betty Blue 
From Sister Sue to Judy Teen

From Johnny Rotten to Charlie Chaplin 
Madonna Ciccone to Little Satnin 
And back to Elvis and Marilyn

I was born to be sold
I was born to be sold
I was born to be sold
