The toe-tappin' tune of the album. More rock infused than the other tracks but I could not help myself from getting a bit gritty. Is this song the beginning of my rap career? (The answer is no)

lyrics

I've been down to sweet Mississippi
Where your mother was a whore and your father was hippie, hey
At least from now you've learned to keep it to you
Instead of waving red flags and stomping on petunias

It's a funny thing that the sky always changed you
To another being, creature, like your mother-father features
But lately it's hard to kick you out the door
'Cause the feelings that you give me are close to never bored

But we've been drowning to the beat
We've been doomed to repeat
You've been holding onto me
And I've gone now to let you be

To be alive

Now I've been bunkered down in a metropolis of Asia
Where we always hide in bushes and never show our faces
It seems like a city made of angels
Is faking plastic whores and doctors plastic faces
Freedom rings, from the skyscrapers
But your freedom don't mean that you should be pushing papers
As cheap as it comes you just can't blame it
'Cause a war's still a war and addictions are in flavors

We've been dancing to the beat
We've been doomed to repeat
You've been holding onto me
Now I've let go to leave you be

To be alive
