Native Son Lyrics


Can you spare me a quarter, though I have no one to call
I just thought it might save my ass one day
If the sky or the free world were to fall
This is the only thing that I can doThis is the only thing I know how to say
And when everything is gone and the night it seems grows long
Will you play this record anyway
There are a million ways to say itThere are a million lies to choose from
So don't look up
You might find that your head is stuck
No one's going to bail us out of this oneEvery time I call your name
Somehow I wish it was the same
For me and you and all the things we do
Not in vainMaybe I could give you a ride though I don't really own a car
Well, it isn't anything so different
Than living underneath a dying star
Well, this is what we all get up forWhen the clocks go out of time 'cause nothing short of
War and death and money
Will ever fucking change your mind

There are a million ways to die sonAnd there are a million places to choose from
So don't look up
You might find that your head is stuck
No one's going to bail us out of this oneEvery time I call your name
Somehow i wish it was the same
For me and you and all the things we do
Not in vainAnd who will kill this native son
Who will learn from everything that we have done
And who will we get to stand up for tomorrow?

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Bryan Adams OC, OBC, (born 5 November 1959) is a Canadian rock singer, guitarist, songwriter and photographer. Some of his best-known albums are Reckless, 18 til I Die, and Waking Up the Neighbours.

Bryan Adams was already popular in Canada when the release of his third album 'Cuts Like A Knife' in 1983 brought him a large following in the USA. His fourth album, 'Reckless', often referred to as one of the most significant of the 1980s, sold over 4 million copies at the time and continues to sell now. His fifth album 'Into the Fire' went platinum.

'Waking Up The Neighbours', his sixth album in 1991, powered him to international stardom. The single '(Everything I Do) I Do For You' spent 16 weeks at number 1; it broke a UK record that had stood since 1955 and still stands today. Across in the USA it became the second largest selling single to 'We Are The World'. The song was featured in the film 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves' (1991) and for this Mr Adams received his first Academy Award nomination. He was also nominated for a Golden Globe.

42 film Directors' have used Adams' music as soundtrack - from A Night In Heaven (1983) to Bobby (2007).

He was also inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 1998, and more recently inducted into the Music Hall of Fame at Canada's Juno Awards (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys) in April 2006. Notably, Adams refuses to attend the awards; as his manager, Bruce Allen explains: "they turned their back on the biggest thing to come out of Canada"--in reference to the hit '(Everything I Do) I Do For You'.
