Rockin' In The Free World - Live Acoustic Version Songtext
von Neil Young

Theres 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

Weve got a thousand points in light for the homeless man
Weve 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
