Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Free, free, set them free
Free, free, set them free
Free, free, set them free
Free, free, set them free
[Verse 2]
If you need somebody, call my name
If you want someone, you can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
Got to lock it up and throw away the key
If you want to hold onto your possessions
Don't even think about me
[Verse 3]
If you love somebody, if you love someone
If you love somebody, if you love someone
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
[Verse 4]
If it's a mirror you want, just look into my eyes
Or a whipping boy, someone to despise
Or a prisoner in the dark
Tied up in chains you just can't see
Or a beast in a gilded cage
That's all some people ever want to be
[Verse 5]
If you love somebody, if you love someone
If you love somebody, if you love someone
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
[Verse 6]
You can't control an independent heart
(Can't love what you can't keep)
Can't tear the one you love apart
(Can't love what you can't keep)
[Verse 7]
Forever conditioned to believe that we can't live
We can't live here and be happy with less
So many riches, so many souls
Everything we see that we want to possess
[Verse 8]
If you need somebody, call my name
If you want someone, you can do the same
If you want to keep something precious
Got to lock it up and throw away the key
Wanna hold onto your possession
Don't even think about me
[Verse 9]
If you love somebody, if you love someone
If you love somebody, if you love someone
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
[Verse 10]
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
[Verse 11]
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
[Verse 12]
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
[Verse 13]
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
(Free, free, set them free)
Set them free
