What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
You finally found the mainstream
2
In the middle of your life
3
You tapped into a vein
4
Of endless gold chains
5
Now you're locked up tight
6
Tearing down the middle of it
7
Splitting it right in half
8
Bobbing up and down the waves
9
Like a runaway slave
10
On a Huck Finn raft
11
CHORUS:
12
Take your wife
13
Take your family
14
Take your gun
15
Running through the woods
16
And the burned out neighborhoods
17
Looking for someone
18
A member of your tribe
19
A Place you can hide
20
'Til the war has begun
21
'Cause in the fields before the flood
22
You'll be spilling blood
23
Like a native son
24
Where you gonna run to
25
There ain't no underground
26
If only you could fly
27
You'd cut across the sky
28
Like a rifle round
29
Oh, who are your people
30
And where is your homeland
31
'Cause they're dying side by side
32
At the river of pride
33
Where we tried to take a stand
34
CHORUS TWICE
35
In the fields before the flood
36
You'll be spilling blood
37
Like a native son
