Lyrics
:
Let me put my arms around you Give me refuge in your soul The new moon rises from the darkness Lord I need a healing prayer Give me a medicine for fever Give me the cure, give me the cure so I can see Raw Burnt back to the bone Raw You'd better leave this child alone Raw I ain't got no home I�m burnt right back Burnt right back to the bone I am falling, I am falling Feels like I�m fixin' to die Wild, wild horses could not drag me away From this earth to heavens gate Raw Burnt back to the bone Raw You'd better leave this child alone Raw I ain't got no home I�m burnt right back Burnt right back to the bone Running like a river Rolling like a train Free spirits rising In the world today Free spirits rising in the world Raw Burnt back to the bone Raw You gotta leave this child alone Raw I ain't got no home I�m burnt right back Burnt right back to the bone Raw Burnt back to the bone Raw You gotta leave this child alone Raw I ain't got no home Raw Come on Raw Burnt back to the bone Raw You gotta leave this child alone Raw

Mike Peters Notes
:The title track, the theme, the attitude. This is the heart of The Alarm in the nineties. Laid bare for all to see. Rising from the confusion of a year of change, personal tragedy and triumph. “Free spirit rising in the world today”. This track sets the scene for the whole album, acoustic and electric. I wanted a song that would cut to the bone, a song that would reflect an attitude. We’ve all grown older and wiser in a very short time, and with experience we’ve learnt to see through the confusion that surrounds us. We certainly won’t be taking any bullshit anymore and hopefully we won’t be giving any out.
