Rockin' in the Free World Songtext
von Pearl Jam

There are colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin′ their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes

Hey, there′s a warnin' sign and the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin′ we′d be better off dead
I don't feel like Satan, but I′m to them
So try to forgive 'em anyway 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 girl in the night
With a baby in her hands
Under an old street light
Next to a garbage can


Now, she put the kid away, she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life and what she′s done with it
That′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
Keep on rockin′ in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world

Yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah, yeah, hey-hey-hey

We are all a thousand points of light
For the soldier man
Oh, please let us bring him home
Bring him home while we can

Department stores and toilet paper
Styrofoam garbage for the ozone layer
Turn all the people and keep hope alive
We got no fuel to burn, no fuel to burn

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
