Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There are colors on the street
Red, white, and blue
People shufflin' their feet
Oh, people sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warning sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people saying we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan, I'm bound to him
So I try to forgive 'em any way I can
[Verse 2]
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]
I see a girl in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Oh, next to the garbage can
Now she's put her kid away, she's gone to 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
[Verse 4]
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 5]
Well there's a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
There's a kinder, gentler, policeman
[Verse 6]
We've got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam garbage for the ozone layer
There's a man of the people, keeps people alive
Got the fuel to burn, got roads to drive
[Verse 7]
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
