Rockin' in the Free World lyrics

There's colors on the street, red, white and blue

People shufflin' their feet, people sleepin' in their shoes

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 with 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

There's an old street light, near a garbage can

Now she put 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've got a thousand points in light for the homeless man

We've 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, 'Keeps 'em 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
