Freedom! '90

Heaven knows I was just a young boy

Didn't know what I wanted to be

I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy

And I guess it was enough for me

To win the race, a prettier face

Brand new clothes and a big fat place

On your rock and roll TV

But today the way I play the game is not the same, no way

I think I'm gonna get me some happy

I think there's something you should know

I think it's time I told you so

There's something deep inside of me

There's someone else I gotta be

Take back your picture in a frame

Take back your singing in the rain

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now

Is take these lies

And make them true (Somehow)

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me, yeah yeah

(Freedom) I won't let you down

(Freedom) I will not give you up

(Freedom) Gotta have some faith

Gotta have some faith in the sound

Heaven knows we sure had some fun, boy

What a kick, just a buddy and me

We had every big-shot, good-time band on the run, boy

We were living in a fantasy

Oh yeah

We won the race, got out of the place

Went back home, got a brand new face

For the boys on MTV

But today, the way I play the game has got to change, oh yeah

Now I'm gonna get me some happy

I think there's something you should know

I think it's time I start the show

There's something deep inside of me

There's someone I forgot to be

Take back your picture in a frame

Don't think that I'll be back again

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now

Is take these lies

And make them true (Somehow)

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me, yeah

(Freedom) I won't let you down

(Freedom) I will not give you up

(Freedom) Gotta have some faith

Gotta have some faith in the sound

I think there's something you should know

I think it's time I told you so

There's something deep inside of me

There's someone else I gotta be

Take back your picture in a frame

Take back your singing in the rain

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

Oh, I will not let you down

Freedom

Freedom

(Freedom) Freedom, Freedom

(Have some faith in the sound) Have some faith in the sound, oh oh

(Freedom, freedom, freedom) Freedom

Hey yeah

All we have to do now

All we can do

(Is take these lies) and make them true (Somehow)

All we have to see

Oh (Is that I don't belong to you)

Freedom (And you don't belong to me)

Freedom

I won't let you down

I will not give you up

Gotta have some faith in the sound

It's the one good thing that I've got

I won't let you down

I will not give you up

It's the one good thing that I've got
