I was born in the city,   Oh, but I was born in the country   My mother said I didn't have a name   But she would have to love me just the same      I was looking for something   I was looking for something   Well, I was looking for a place to go   Someplace that maybe i could call my own      Just let it go, just let it go 'cause it's gone   You're pointing fingers, you're pointing fingers   Just let it go, just let it go, let it die   You didn't know it was the very first time      It's getting hard to remember   It's getting hard to remember   That all the warning signs must be ignored   We've got to have the things we can't afford      Just let it go, just let it go 'cause it's gone   You're pointing fingers, you're pointing fingers   Just let it go, just let it go, let it die   You didn't know it was the very first time      Oh, it was the first time (x4)      We were killing the neighbors   And we were laughing in churches   I'm very sorry but I disagree   I don't know what has gotten into me      Just let it go, just let it go 'cause it's gone   You're pointing fingers, you're pointing fingers   Just let it go, just let it go, let it die   You didn't know it was the very first time      Oh, it was the first time (x4)
