Woke Up This Morning (Chosen One) — Soprano Opening Song

You woke up this morning  Got yourself a gun,  Mama always said you’d be  The Chosen One.  She said: You’re one in a million  You’ve got to burn to shine,  But you were born under a bad sign,  With a blue moon in your eyes.  You woke up this morning  All the love has gone,  Your Papa never told you  About right and wrong.  But you’re looking good, baby,  I believe you’re feeling fine, (shame about it),  Born under a bad sign  With a blue moon in your eyes.  You woke up this morning  The world turned upside down,  Thing’s ain’t been the same  Since the Blues walked into town.  But you’re one in a million  You’ve got that shotgun shine.  Born under a bad sign,  With a blue moon in your eyes.  When you woke up this morning everything you had was  gone. By half past ten your head was going ding-dong.  Ringing like a bell from your head down to your toes,  like a voice telling you there was something you should  know. Last night you were flying but today you’re so low  - ain’t it times like these that make you wonder if  you’ll ever know the meaning of things as they appear to  the others; wives, mothers, fathers, sisters and  brothers. Don’t you wish you didn’t function, wish you  didn’t think beyond the next paycheck and the next little  drink’ Well you do so make up your mind to go on, ‘cos  when you woke up this morning everything you had was gone.  When you woke up this morning,  When you woke up this morning,  When you woke up this morning,  Mama said you’d be the Chosen One.  When you woke up this morning,  When you woke up this morning,  When you woke up this morning,  You got yourself a gun.
