Lyrics

[00:02.75]
[00:31.60] We're dancing free but we're stuck here underground
[00:33.60] And everybody trying to figure they way out
[00:42.28] Hey Hey Hey all we ever wanted to say
[00:47.96] Was chased erased and then thrown away
[00:51.20] And day to day we live in a daze
[00:55.85] We march all around til' the sun goes down night children
[00:59.41] Broken dreams no sunshine endless crimes we long for freedom (for freedom)
[01:08.67]
[01:09.80] You're free but in your mind your freedom's in a bind
[01:15.68] Oh make it rain ain't a thang and the sky to fall
[01:18.24] (The silver bullet's in your hand and the war's heating up)
[01:20.61] And when the truth goes BANG the shouts splatter out
[01:23.66] (Revolutionize your lives and find a way out)
[01:26.35] And when you're growing down instead of growing up
[01:30.21] (You gotta ooo ah ah like a panther)
[01:32.84] Tell me are you bold enough to reach for love
[01:36.40] (Na na na )
[01:37.20] So strong for so long
[01:48.00] All I wanna do is sing my simple song
[01:50.25] Square or round rich or poor
[02:00.51] At the end of day and night all we want is more
[02:04.60] I keep my feet on solid ground and use my wings when storms come around
[02:10.21] I keep my feet on solid ground for freedom
[02:16.55] You're free but in your mind your freedom's in a bind
[02:21.08] Civil rights civil war
[02:29.70] Hood rat crack whore
[02:31.51] Carefree nightclub
[02:35.88] Closet drunk bathtub
[02:38.81] Outcast weirdo

[03:06.21] Dead man walking with a dirty mouth
[03:08.14] Spoiled milk stale bread

[03:10.76] Record deal light bulb
[03:12.34] Keep back kid not corporate thug
[03:13.95] Breast cancer common cold
[03:15.46] HIV lost hope
[03:17.02] Overweight self esteem
[03:18.70] Misfit broken dream
[03:20.07] Fish tank small bowl
[03:21.63] Closed mind dark hold

[03:47.73] And when the world just treats you wrong
[04:30.98] Just come with me and I'll take you home
[04:33.10] No need to pack a bag
[04:36.28] Who put your life in the danger zone
[04:41.52] You running dropping like a rolling stone
[04:44.65] No need to pack a bag
[04:48.26] You just can't stop your hurt from hanging on
[04:54.59] The old man dies and then a baby's born
[04:58.40] Chan chan chan change your life
[05:05.33] And when the world just treats you wrong
[05:08.51] Just come with me and I'll take you home
[05:12.12] Shan shan shan shan-gri la
[05:15.42] Na na na na na na na na na na na
