Rockin' in the Free World (Encore) Songtext
von Pearl Jam

There are 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
There′s a lot of people saying we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forgive′em 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 girl in the night
With a baby in her hands
Under an old street light
Close to the garbage can
Now she put her kid away
And she′s gone to get a hint
She hates her life and what she's done with it
And 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

There′s a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
There's a kinder, gentler machine gun hand
There′s department stores, and toilet paper
Got styrofoam garbage for the ozone layer
There's a man of the people, says 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
