Rocking in the Free World Songtext
von Pearl Jam

There are colors on the street, red, white, and blue
People shufflin′ their feet, yeah, people sleepin' in their shoes
There′s a warnin' sign in the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin′ we′d be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them
So fuck "em, any way I can, yeah

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, oh, next to the garbage can
Now she put her 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 feel 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 Republican
There's a kinder, gentler police man′s hand
There's department stores, and toilet paper
Styrofoam garbage for the ozone layer
There's a man of the people, said ′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
Let′s keep on rockin' in this free world
