Free Songtext
while mr. temple rambled on with his achievement list
i sat there poking at my dinner plate
and if he only took a breath between his spit and fish
he might discover that we don't relate

but it's the same thing every time
they try to bait you with a flashy empty clever line

i can hardly think straight deciphering
between the difference of religion and a man
i think i'll join them all with a thoughtful grin
and then be done with it as soon as i began
now that i'm done with it it's time to start again

can we agree if i don't judge you then you won't judge me
let's be free, let's be free, let's be free
and every time i see your face i'll celebrate the ways
i'm not you, you're not me, let's be free

we are free
the fight ends with a jubilee
suddenly
the weights fall of our hands and feet
fear and love
we know which one does not belong
on and on
we're dancing to a freedom song

we are free
in our hands and feet
whatever we believe, free
in our hands and feet
we could stay or we could leave, free

i'll tell you what i know
the truth is that nobody really knows
i'm gonna tell it like it is
i won't pretend to know the end
i hear you talking so loud
like there's no choice
you're just hiding in the sound
of your own voice
and if you try to keep the score
i'm gonna spook your high horse
