Simple Minds - Rocking In The Free World lyrics

rate me

There?s colors on the street, red, white and blue<br />

People shufflin' their feet, people sleepin' in their shoes<br />

There's a warnin' sign on the road ahead<br />

There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead<br />

Don't feel like Satan but I am with them<br />

So I try to forget it any way I can<br />

<br />

Keep on rockin' in the free world<br />

Keep on rockin' in the free world<br />

Keep on rockin' in the free world<br />

Keep on rockin' in the free world<br />

<br />

I see a woman in the night with a baby in her hand<br />

There's an old street light, near a garbage can<br />

Now she put the kid away and she's gone to get a hit<br />

She hates her life and what she's done to it<br />

There's one more kid that will never go to school<br />

Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool<br />

<br />

Keep on rockin' in the free world<br />

Keep on rockin' in the free world<br />

Keep on rockin' in the free world<br />

Keep on rockin' in the free world<br />

<br />

We?ve got a thousand points in light for the homeless man<br />

We?ve got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand<br />

We got department stores and toilet paper<br />

Got Styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer<br />

Got a man of the people, says, ?Keeps ?em alive?<br />

Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive<br />

<br />

Keep on rockin' in the free world<br />

Keep on rockin' in the free world<br />

Keep on rockin' in the free world<br />

Keep on rockin' in the free world<br /><br />
