Natives
When you were young you settled down
Digging holes within the ground
I see your tracks all over this town
You built it up stone by stone
Spilling blood and burying bone
From earth and love you built your home
When they drive you away at dawn
On and on, all the way. Gone tomorrow here today
The machine keeps rolling on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on
Your sons and your daughters look to the sky
Bearing gifts prepared to fly
It should've been enough I know
The new man he waits outside your door
You gather your things upon the floor
Take one last look around
When they drive you away at dawn
On and on, all the way. Gone tomorrow here today
The machine keeps rolling on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on
Days of promise have come and gone
On and on, all the way. Gone tomorrow here today
The shadows the old trees cast are long
When they drive you away at dawn
On and on, all the way. Gone tomorrow here today
The machine keeps rolling on and on
The shadows the old trees cast are long
You were the one who gave us your name
You were the one who started the flame
You were the one who gave us your name
You were the one who started the flame
You were the one who gave us your name
You were the one who started the flame
You were the one who gave us your name
You were the one who started the flame
You were the one who started the flame
You were the one who started the flame
You were the one
Digging holes within the ground
I see your tracks all over this town
You built it up stone by stone
Spilling blood and burying bone
From earth and love you built your home
When they drive you away at dawn
On and on, all the way. Gone tomorrow here today
The machine keeps rolling on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on
Your sons and your daughters look to the sky
Bearing gifts prepared to fly
It should've been enough I know
The new man he waits outside your door
You gather your things upon the floor
Take one last look around
When they drive you away at dawn
On and on, all the way. Gone tomorrow here today
The machine keeps rolling on and on
On and on, on and on, on and on, on and on
Days of promise have come and gone
On and on, all the way. Gone tomorrow here today
The shadows the old trees cast are long
When they drive you away at dawn
On and on, all the way. Gone tomorrow here today
The machine keeps rolling on and on
The shadows the old trees cast are long
You were the one who gave us your name
You were the one who started the flame
You were the one who gave us your name
You were the one who started the flame
You were the one who gave us your name
You were the one who started the flame
You were the one who gave us your name
You were the one who started the flame
You were the one who started the flame
You were the one who started the flame
You were the one
