I hear the things they're sayin'
In the USA
??? it don't matter anyway
I had enough about it
Like I did before
Push me back
Push it there
Never gonna take us, oh

Who's gonna take us alive?
Who's gonna take us alive?
Who's gonna take us alive?
Who's gonna take us alive?

I guess I should've called it
But I do not comp-
Comprehension slides on by
Like another and I wonder why
I guess it's all a matter
Of natural taste
Watch them cars rollin' on by
Rollin' with the time here, hey

Who's gonna take us alive?
Who's gonna take us alive?
Who's gonna take us alive?
Who's gonna take us, yeah

Sweet cradle of ?? liberty
Rockin' to my grave in the city
It's all changed but I haven't got a love and you'll see

Who's gonna take us alive?
Who's gonna take us alive?
Who's gonna take us alive?
Who's gonna take us
Who's gonna take us
Who's gonna take us alive?
Alive
Alive

(Stop)
