Text: Everlast. Naked.
Blue sky, devil eye
Cyanide, suicide
Double down, let it ride
Lose your money
Bruise your pride
Easy come, easy went
Ghetto slums tenements
Things look real, Old Testament
Blame it all on the president
(Chorus)
The emperor's got brand new clothes
And everybody but him knows he's naked
But you don't say a word
The emperor's got brand new jewels
Wake up soon you silly fools
He's naked
But you don't say a word
The rich they get richer
The poor they get poorer
While liberty stands naked screaming in horror
The emperor raped her but we just ignore her
The rich they get richer
The poor they get poorer
Euthanize, youth will rise
Scrutinize, truth from lies
Time to revolutionize
Organize, weaponise
Easy come, easy go
Think I'm movin just a little bit too slow
Got front row tickets to the big freak show
Wait for the whole freakin' thing to blow
(Chorus)
Homicide, genocide
Victimize, paralyze
Empathize and analyze
Compromise and vandalize
Easy come, hard to take
Wide awake the original fake
Find the heart, drive the stake
Wait for the whole freakin' thing to break
(Chorus)
Cyanide, suicide
Double down, let it ride
Lose your money
Bruise your pride
Easy come, easy went
Ghetto slums tenements
Things look real, Old Testament
Blame it all on the president
(Chorus)
The emperor's got brand new clothes
And everybody but him knows he's naked
But you don't say a word
The emperor's got brand new jewels
Wake up soon you silly fools
He's naked
But you don't say a word
The rich they get richer
The poor they get poorer
While liberty stands naked screaming in horror
The emperor raped her but we just ignore her
The rich they get richer
The poor they get poorer
Euthanize, youth will rise
Scrutinize, truth from lies
Time to revolutionize
Organize, weaponise
Easy come, easy go
Think I'm movin just a little bit too slow
Got front row tickets to the big freak show
Wait for the whole freakin' thing to blow
(Chorus)
Homicide, genocide
Victimize, paralyze
Empathize and analyze
Compromise and vandalize
Easy come, hard to take
Wide awake the original fake
Find the heart, drive the stake
Wait for the whole freakin' thing to break
(Chorus)
Everlast
