There`s colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin` their feet
People sleepin` in their shoes
But 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 to 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 hands
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts 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.
Solo
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
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got 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.
Neil Young
