Myers and Smith - ROCKIN’ IN THE FREE WORLD

There's colors on the street
Red, white, and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleeping in their shoes
There’s a warning sign on the road ahead
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

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light near a garbage can
Now she's put the kid away
She's gone to get a hit
She hates her life and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that'll
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

We've got a thousand points of
Light for the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand
We've got department stores and toilet paper
Got Styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people
Say "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
