Popular Music and the Circumstances of My Birth

“Born too late for you to notice me.
To you I’m just a kid that you won’t date.
Why was I born too late?”

Born, born to be alive…

I was born in the back seat of a Rambler
Rollin’ down Highway Forty-one…

In her pains mother earth came to bloom
Her children were born in the eye of the storm
And there’s too many clues in this room

I was born and raised in San Jose
