Rocking In the Free World (Live In Johannesburg, 1995)

There's colors in the night, red, white, and blue

People shuffling their feet, people swimming in their shoes

There's a warning sign on the road ahead

Some people who be saying, "We'd be better off dead"

I don't feel like Satan, but I am to them

So I try to forget it, any way I can

So keep on rocking in the free world

Keep on rocking in the free world

Keep on rocking in the free world

Keep on rocking in the free world

Free world

I see a woman in the night, with a baby in her hand

By an old streetlight, near a garbage can

She threw the kid away, 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 rocking in the free world

Keep on rocking in the free world

Keep on rocking in the free world

Keep on rocking in the free world

Free world

We got a thousand points of light for the homeless man

We got his kinder, gentler, machine gun hand

We got department stores sellin' toilet paper

We got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer

Gotta be like the people, gotta keep them all alive

Got no more fuel, he knows the sides

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

Free world
