about

River Toussaint Rabbitte is the powerhouse voice and femme fatale front-woman for the roadhouse raunch rock band wht.rbbt.obj. Back in 2017, River sat down in a Brooklyn recording studio and laid down a couple of tracks that have gone mostly unheard and then shelved. With the growth of her band, she felt it was time to start releasing these very personal tracks. Follow wht.rbbt.obj to keep up with her busy tour and performance schedule.

lyrics

It was a cold day in the autumn
Before the dawn had barely broke
From the hollow cave I crumbled
And from silence I awoke
A soft and hardened sigh
To try and ease the pain
Oh, I've been born in a bad way

I've been born in a bad way

This place is a little darker
Than I imagined it could be
And I'm howlin just release me
From that line of carnal greed
A toke or two to hold me
And rock away the pain
Oh baby, I've been born in a bad way

Your arms well, they've been taken
By two children and a wife
But the broken man inside you
Still cuts me like a knife
So daddy hold me sweetly
And leave them with the blame
Oh baby, I've been born in a bad way

I've been born in a bad way
I've been born in a bad way

One day I'll leave this world
The same way that I came
Back to the hollow cave I'll go
With all my dying shame
A drag or two to kill me
And leave them with the blame
Oh baby, I've been born in a bad way

I've been born

I've been born in a bad way
I've been born in a bad way
