We were born alone
And we die alone
No, oh oh
What a way to go
Now I'm on my own
But I'm not sorry, no
Look at me go
Look at me high and low
Look at me picking myself back up
From the underground (oh)
I've died a few times before
I know what it's like
When I can't see the light
I find a light of my own
Sh-sh-sh-shine like a diamond
Like a lonely diamond
We were born alone
And we die alone
No, no, no no no
What a way to go
Now I'm on my own (now I'm on my own)
But I'm not sorry
No
Nobody's your friend
At the start or at the end, no
You can't take 'em with you when you're dead
No
I'm a rebel, I'm a fighter
A brave outsider
The crowd gets thin
When the noose gets tighter
Oh (sh-shine like a diamond)
'Cause I'm a lonely diamond, oh
We were born alone
And we die alone
No, no, no no no
What a way to go
Now I'm on my own (now I'm on my own)
But I'm not sorry
No
Shine like a diamond
(No, no, no)
Like a lonely diamond
We were born alone
And we die alone
No, no, no no no
What a way to go
Now I'm on my own (now I'm on my own)
But I'm not sorry
No
