Native Son |
| You finally found the mainstream |
| In the middle of your life |
| You tapped into a vein |
| Of endless gold chains |
| Now you’re locked up tight |
| Tearing down the middle of it |
| Splitting it right in half |
| Bobbing up and down the waves |
| Like a runaway slave |
| On a Huck Finn raft |
| Take your wife |
| Take your family |
| Take your gun |
| Running through the woods |
| And the burned out neighborhoods |
| Looking for someone |
| A member of your tribe |
| A Place you can hide |
| 'Til the war has begun |
| 'Cause in the fields before the flood |
| You’ll be spilling blood |
| Like a native son |
| Where you gonna run to |
| There ain’t no underground |
| If only you could fly |
| You’d cut across the sky |
| Like a rifle round |
| Oh, who are your people |
| And where is your homeland |
| 'Cause they’re dying side by side |
| At the river of pride |
| Where we tried to take a stand |
| Take your wife |
| Take your family |
| Take your gun |
| Running through the woods |
| And the burned out neighborhoods |
| Looking for someone |
| A member of your tribe |
| A Place you can hide |
| 'Til the war has begun |
| 'Cause in the fields before the flood |
| You’ll be spilling blood |
| Like a native son |
| Take your wife |
| Take your family |
| Take your gun |
| Running through the woods |
| And the burned out neighborhoods |
| Looking for someone |
| A member of your tribe |
| A Place you can hide |
| 'Til the war has begun |
| 'Cause in the fields before the flood |
| You’ll be spilling blood |
| Like a native son |
| In the fields before the flood |
| You’ll be spilling blood |
| Like a native son |
