Rockin’ in the Free World Songtext
von Big Country

There′s colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shuffling their feet
People sleeping in their shoes

There's a warning sign on the road ahead
A lot of people saying we′d be better off dead
Look like Satan, I am to them
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
Keep on


I see a woman in the night with a baby in her hand
Under electric lights beside a garbage can
And now she puts the kid away, she's gonna get a hit
She hates her life and what she′s done to it
That's one more kid that′ll never go to school
Never get to fall in love and 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
Styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
A man of the people says keep hope alive
We got fuel to burn and 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
Keep on
