To being packed in an urn, I'm a child

And when I steal, you gotta smack me 'til I cry
          G
Don't you stop 'til all the tears run dry
           C
See, I was born thinking all under the sky
         G
Didn't belong to a couple old white guys
             D
From sucking on my mama's breast
             D                                 G
To when they lay my soul to rest, I'm a child
