This is the native son!
I am the native son!
This is the native son!
We’re all looking for something
But we never know what we need
We’re all headed for something
Is this nothing what you need?
I’m gonna bring you something
Raise your fist if you know what I mean
We’re all headed for nothing
At least that’s what they want you to believe
This is the native son!
I am the native son!
This is the native son!
Take a little while to wonder
Do you deny or do you believe?
Take a little time for something
If a lifetime’s what you need
We’re all headed for something
I’m praying down upon my knees
We’re all headed for something
Got me down upon my knees
I beg and plead
Woeful and brief all the things we need
When they’re held up to the light
Of all belief- all belief
All the things that you really need
Now that I have seen and hence
Have chosen to believe
This is the native son!
I am the native son!
This is the native son!
Yeah!

Take You Away

Take You Away
When I was younger well I know I had an urge
Now that I’m older from those depths I have emerged
You see a peasant who has made himself a king
By weaving songs that long to be your everything
Take you away from the cliché
Of a world that’s full of sin and hate
All rivers ebb and flow
I know I crossed the Nile
Even my troubles cried
From thinking all the while
With all the love content the seeds that I have sown
And time will tell which ones will die and which will grow
I’m going to take you from this anyway I can
Somehow, we’d be a fool to try and know the master plan
Oh yeah I’ll introduce you to exactly who I am
A path to leave this town now on demand
To take you away from the cliché
Of a world that’s full of sin and hate
Not by mistake make myself great
Above a world of pain take you away
In a dream I’m launched into the stratosphere
I thought so high above
That it’d be cold up here
But I was wrong so high and miles from the earth
It’s warm
How I have learned
It’s warm where you are
So warm
Wherever you are
Is where I belong, so warm
Take you away from the cliché
Of a world that’s full of sin and hate
Not by mistake make myself great
Above a world of pain take you away…

Lone Wolf
03:15
|

|
I try to take my time
Try to find my way
Get settled on the inside
However long I take
And then you made me weak
You made me kneel and pray
Unsettled on the inside
Unsung and out of place
And it’s like I sailed away-
Now I change my mind
To find another way
To fall on the upside
Of all along my way
You make a strong man weak
You make him feel and pray
A battle from the inside
To fight another day
And it’s like I sailed away-
For once I’m glad I’m hanging out
My lone wolf status barely holding on
Until the next time that she calls
At first glance I’ll be staring out
The lone wolf’s savage gazing from afar, for now, for now…
All the time I gave
Just to sing and play
Now falls by the wayside
And It’s more than I can take
When you made me weak
You made me beg and pray
Far better on the inside
To live another day
And it’s like I sailed away
It’s like I sailed away-
For once I’m glad I’m hanging out
My lone wolf status barely holding on
Until the next time that she calls
At first glance I’ll be staring out
The lone wolf’s savage gazing from afar, for now, for now
For now…

When You Call
04:36
|

|
When we fall, and we fall
Imbalanced by the perils of all the world
When it’s all up above
After all, are we all
Impassioned by the voice who knows who we are?
When it’s all resolved from above
Another care and another battle for the bearing of all the world
When it’s all resolved from above
If I fall, I’ll never care at all
I’ll never fail at all
When You call
When He calls, and He calls
The balance over devils of all the world
Feel it come from above
After all, are we all
Impassioned by the voice who calls who we are
Feel it come from above
Another care and another battle for the bearing of all the world
When it’s all resolved from above
If I fall, I’ll never care at all
I’ll never fail at all,
Not at all
No, no
If I fall, I’ll never care at all
I’ll never fail at all- When You call
Another care add another battle for all the world
If I fall, I’ll never fail at all
I’ll never care at all
Not at all
No, no
If I fall, I’ll never care at all
I’ll never fail at all
When you call
Add another battle for all the world
After all
When you call…

The Way Out
03:13
|

|
Take a look in the mirror quick
Don't let it get into your mind
'Cause you got some freedom for a bit
But now it's just like doing time
Now you had a few years to figure it out
That when they say 'you're doing fine'
They mean 'pawns like you are a dime a hundred
You can count them down the line' 1-2!
No sellout, no sellout
If you're no sellout
You're on the way out
No sell out, no sell out
If you're no sell out
You're on the way out
You're on the way out
Take a look at the lunatic
Who wants to starve his gut for spite
Trade that freedom for a gig
And thought that this would turn out right
Had a few years to figure it out
If I'm unknown I'm doing fine
Because pawns like me are a dime a hundred
You can count us down the line, 1-2-3-4!
Chorus
I'd love for you to see me as
The one who'll have your needs be satisfied
But I'm the one to see you fill my needs
While your dreams bleed out and die, and die..

Give and Take
03:51

|
Again I got back to you late
Now I have some time to myself since you’ve gone away
You take that smile and hide
Away into a room I’ve never been inside
Took years to never earn that right
Now I know why-
Then I"ll call, I’ll say to you,
As I’ll recall, it saved you:
“I still feel that we can see it all.”
Cross my past as over lands
Turn back time just to stand in line to hold your hand
Now that hand is mine to hold
To see this all unfold before my eyes so dim
Reflected by the star so clear
It’s you, my dear-
Then I’d call, I’ll say to you,
As I’ll recall, it saved you:
“I still feel that we can see it all.”
I guess you can give it and take it as you want
I guess you can give it and take it as you want…

Shout Out
03:17

Shout out here to all of you
Who worry ‘bout me and my babe
If I be true to all of you
I wonder can I really be saved
I’m shut out and I’m dead to you
But I really love you, babe
You wanna join reality
Or just be another slave?
My head is reeling and my body screaming from our last go ‘round
Round and round
The kiss that kills
Those icy lips upon me pull me underground
Yeah, underground, yeah
Shout out here to all of you
Who worry ‘bout me and my babe
If I be true to all of you
I wonder can I really be saved
I’m shut out and I’m dead to you
But I really love you, babe
You wanna join reality
Or just be another slave?
I got this feeling, yeah
My mind’s still reeling
From our last go ‘round, yeah
Round and round
I miss that kiss, strawberry lips
That build me up and pull me down
Yeah, underground, yeah
Another knockdown from the fallout
Over our last time around, yeah
Round and round, yeah (Stop)
Shout out here to all of you
Who worry ‘bout me and my babe
If I be true to all of you
I wonder can I really be saved
I’m shut out and I’m dead to you
But I really love you, babe
You wanna join reality
Or just be another slave?
I’m shut out and I’m dead to you
Aw I really love you, babe
You wanna join reality
Or just be another slave?
I’m shut out and I’m dead to you
But I really love you, babe

Give 'Em All You Have
03:29

I hear the cry of another go
‘Next time’
And next you know I hear
Nothing at all
This ain’t a place to last long
Hoping for next time
Right here is everything or nothing at all
If you’re gonna leave this scene
You gotta be mean and rough
Especially if you’re lean and poor
It’s gonna be tough
And every time I hear another one chosen
I’m on my heels I got my back to the wall
This ain’t a place to hide the words that I’m holding
Right here is everything or nothing at all
This chance I take to make it all the way this time
No chance in hell of hearing nothing at all
This ain’t a place to last long hoping for next time
Be everything or just be nothing at all
If you wanna seek you gotta be meek
Yet rough
If you wanna leave this scene
You gotta be mean and tough
If you’re gonna leave this scene
You gotta be mean and rough
Especially if you’re lean and poor
It’s gonna be tough
You give ‘em hell
You give ‘em all you have
You give ‘em hell
You give ‘em all you have
C’mon
You give ‘em all you have
Have…
If you wanna seek you gotta be meek
Yet rough
If you wanna leave this scene
You gotta be mean and tough
If you’re gonna leave this scene
You gotta be mean and rough
Especially if you’re lean and poor
It’s gonna be tough…

Carry On
04:17

Now that I have seen it all
It's made me believe enough for both of us
I know they say it's hopeless
That life is tough and then it's over
But we are here together
To find a seal and break it open
I think we'll find
I think we'll carry on all right
We'll find
I'll think we'll carry on all right
It's not that I have seen a light
It's just that I stopped seeing
All the darkness that's inside
I know they say it's worthless
That life is short and then goes nowhere
But we are here together
To find the seal and break it open
I think we'll find
I think we'll carry on all right
We'll find
I'll think we'll carry on all right
Now that I have seen it all
It's made me believe enough for all of us
I know they say it's hopeless
But we are here to start this over...
Thanks for listening
See you next week
Have a good day
