Naked + Alive - Mother Falcon

My skin has been tangled again

Between the ribs of metal defense

That resonates with movement of friends

That shakes awake the hunger of ants

I’m drunk

I’m drinking

We break in

So we can swim

We do what we want

'Cause we look like we should

In our country’s eyes

You should see her drive

Can’t tell green from red now

But don’t break her stride

Once in a dream, woke up screaming

Through a Texas metal screen

With a backdrop of a homicide

To an old man with his arms held wide

Want to keep his seat warm

Justify your class war

And if you had to shoot

Well, you got to shoot

'Cause we’re naked and alive

Just trying to survive, yeah

Naked and alive

Just trying to survive, yeah

Naked and alive

Just trying to survive, yeah

Naked and alive

Just trying to break in

So we can swim

We do what we want

'Cause we look like we should

In our country’s eyes

You should see her drive

Can’t tell green from red now

But don’t break her stride

On my sister’s birthday

Got dressed up nice, ate raw shark

To taste the seas from which it swam

Did it share the same sea

As the sunken ferry

Filled with kids?

Kids my sister’s age

Singing the theme

Of a movie that was made

Before they were born

No longer naked and alive

Just trying to survive, yeah

Naked and alive

Just trying to survive, yeah

Naked and alive

Just trying to survive, yeah

Naked and alive

Just trying to break out

So they can swim

They do what they want

'Cause we look like we should

In our country’s eyes

You should see her drive

Can’t tell green from red now

But don’t break her stride

That’s our country’s pride

That’s our country’s pride

That’s our country’s pride

That’s our country’s pride

That’s our country’s pride
