EVERLAST LYRICS - Naked

"Naked"



Blue sky, devil eye

Cyanide, suicide

Double down, let it ride

Lose your money, bruise your pride



Easy came, easy went

Ghetto slums, tenements

Things look real, Old Testament

Blame it all on the president



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

Poorer, poorer, poorer, poorer, poorer



Youthanize, youth will rise

Scrutinize, truth from lies

Time to revolutionize

Organize, weaponize



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



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

Poorer, poorer, poorer, poorer, poorer



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



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



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

Poorer, poorer, poorer, poorer, poorer
