There's colours on the street,
|
Red, white and blue.
|
People shufflin' their feet,
|
People sleepin' in their shoes.
|
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead.
|
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead.
|
Don't feel like Satan but I am to them.
|
So I try to forget it any way I can.
|
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
|
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
|
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
|
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
|
|
I see a woman in the night,
|
With a baby in her hand,
|
Under an old street light,
|
Near a garbage can.
|
Now she puts the kid away and she's gone to get a hit,
|
She hates her life and what she's done to it.
|
There's one more kid that will never go to school,
|
Never get to fall in love never get to be cool.
|
|
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
|
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
|
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
|
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
|
|
We got a thousand points of light,
|
For the homeless man.
|
We got a kinder, gentler,
|
Machine gun hand.
|
We got department stores and toilet paper.
|
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer.
|
Got a man of the people says keep hope alive,
|
Got fuel to burn got roads to drive.
|
|
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
|
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
|
Keep on rockin' in the free world,
|
Keep on rockin' in the free world.
