Lyrics

    Do you or don't you want this to be your song?
    It doesn't take a rebel to sing along.
    This art is weak
    in its pretty, pretty frame
    and I am a monkey with
    a misspelled name
    "I'll put down your disco
    and take you heart away"
    "I'll put down your disco
    and take you heart away"
    I'll be born again
    
    I'm someone else
    I'm someone new
    I'm someone stupid just like you
    I'm someone else
    I'm someone new
    I'm someone stupid just like you
    
    do you or don't you want to take this hit?
    Does it make you feel like you're a part of "it."
    "I'll put down your disco
    and take you heart away"
    "I'll put down your disco
    and take you heart away"
    I am born again
    
    I'm someone else
    I'm someone new
    I'm someone stupid just like you
    I'm someone else
    I'm someone new
    I'm someone stupid just like you
    
    the valley of the dolls is
    the valley of the dead
    the valley of the dolls is
    the valley of the dead
    I'm someone else
    I'm someone new
    I'm someone stupid just like you
    I'm someone else
    I'm someone new
    I'm someone stupid just like you
    
    I'll be born again...

Trivia

• Apparently, Born Again was recorded at the same time as Irresponsible Hate Anthem, February 14th, 1997, despite the album being released in 2000. It is possible that this could have something to do with the story.
• In the book Art That Kills by George Petros a handwritten note with the Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death) tracklist on "Born Again" was listed as "Valley of the Dolls". Apparently, this was the song's working title.
