Living Soldiers

This is The Native Wood's debut album, "Some Big Game", available for FREE streaming for a limited time only.

We have poured a year's work of time and energy and close to $2000 into making this album. If you supported our music by buying a digital copy of this album on bandcamp.com or iTunes, or buying a physical copy (which will be available very soon both digitally and in hard copies)from us personally at one of our shows, we would be forever grateful. 

Thank you :)

Been sitting on this track for awhile and decided to say "fuck it" and just finally release it. This is not a Native Woods song but I hope ya'll enjoy anyway!

Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Ryan Mannebach.

Way Back When

Get Down

Chicago Slicker, made my name through the pain game
Every day is a struggle just to remain sane
Change myself and then the world, won't fake it
No more waiting on tomorrow, eternal sunrise

I don't have a choice
Gotta come out with my voice every time I have that choice
Hear a lot of banter, you know that love is the answer
Which we'll find inside, there is nowhere left to hide
Never addressed those issues, corporations try to use me like a tissue
Got more respect than that, found my purpose and I'm never going back
Heart attack American, so I became vegetarian
Live well and prosper, whatever you do don't take a bad offer or get misused
I've heard it all before, seven billion people just trying to score
Short term gains bring on the pain, play the long game and you'll be glad you came
For your kids, hear the sound, coming round
If you accept the truth as it is we might be able to stick around

Chicago Slicker, made my name through the pain game
Every day is a struggle just to remain sane
Change myself and then the world, won't fake it
No more waiting on tomorrow, eternal sunrise


Chicago slicker, getting sicker off the liquor while the 1% get richer
Working stiff? Need a lift? Round here, nothing comes as a gift
Trying to find the time to cut you in line and make myself an extra dime.
But hey! I already know where you need to go to collect 200 and pass go.
You see, I paid all my tolls and fed all the trolls when I went looking for that invisible gold.
Cuz haven't you heard? It's so absurd. I sold my soul so long ago.

I watched my dad die, saw the life leave his eyes, cops hit me with them fines, arrested and tested
But you can't put a dent in my ride, push the greedy to the side, up, up, and away towards the sky
I just want to be exponentially growing every single way, every single day.
Fuck around, go downtown, look around, look at all of the bullshit,

(bring down a piece of cloud nine)
Surrounding you in the aisle of Wal-Mart
(clean up the ocean and the skies)
you know you need a fresh start
(and then away we fly, otherwise stay stuck in the ground til we die)

Chicago Slicker, made my name through the pain game
Every day is a struggle just to remain sane
Change myself and then the world, won't fake it
No more waiting on tomorrow, eternal sunrise
