From the album "Legitimate Bastard" (2012)

lyrics

LEGITIMATE BASTARD

If not for this place,
we'd have nowhere to go,
and no one would care,
and no one would know.
Thanks in this orphanage,
I'm a legitimate bastard.

We're all buried children
who'd dug their own ground,
anonymous no-ones
who'll never be found.
Living to this orphanage,
I'm a legitimate bastard.

Accepting what little
this stingy life gave us,
we still hope that someday
someone will save us –
waiting in this orphanage,
I'm a legitimate bastard

What a pain and a drain that
we must be supported –
it remains a shame that none
of us had been aborted.
By the grace of this orphanage,
I'm a legitimate bastard.
