I wasn't born to waste my time Working and slaving and standing in line Or deadling with the inland geeks Who try to snake some perfect peaks I wasn't born to put up with this jive I wasn't meant to feel like I was buried alive I was born to surf I gotta find out what life is really worth I was born to ride the waves And not feel like I was someone's slave Surfing is the total best, riding on a perfect crest Ride the waves and leave the city behind I wasn't meant to feel like I was buried alive I was born to surf I gotta find out what life is really worth I was born to surf I gotta find out what life is really worth
