Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There are colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
[Verse 2]
There's a warnin' sign and the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' I'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, but I'm to them
So, I try to forgive 'em anyway I can
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
There's a girl in the night
With a baby in her hands
Under an old street light
Oh, next to a garbage can (Garbage can)
[Verse 4]
Now, she put er' kid away (She's gonna 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 to fall in love, never get to be cool
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
There's a thousand points of light
For the colored man
There's a kinder gentler, policeman said
[Chorus]
Oh, there's department stores and toilet paper
Styrofoam garbage for the Ozone layer
There's a plan of people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Thanks, everybody
Goodnight, goodbye
See you in a few
