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 |
