Artist: everlast
Song: naked
Album: Love, War, and the Ghost of Whitey Ford
Year: 2008
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
