Freedom

Heaven knows I was just a young boy

Didn't know what I wanted to be

(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

(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

(Rock and roll TV)

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

Think I'm gonna get myself happy

(Think I'm gonna get myself 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 l've got to 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 in the sound

You got to give what you take

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

Freedom

I won't let you down

Freedom

So please don't give me up

Freedom

'Cause I would really, really love to stick around

You got to give what you take

Heaven knows we sure had some fun, boy

What a kick just a buddy and me

(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

(Living in a fantasy)

We won the race, got out of the place

Went back home, got a brand new face

For the boys on MTV

(Boys on MTV)

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

Now l'm gonna get myself happy

(Now l'm gonna get myself happy)

I think there's something you should know

I think it's time I stopped 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, yeah

Freedom

I won't let you down

Freedom

I will not give you up

Freedom

Gotta have some faith in the sound

You got to give what you take

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

Freedom

I won't let you down

Freedom

So please don't give me up

Freedom

'Cause I would really, really love to stick around, to stick around

You got to give what you take

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

Well, it looks like the road to heaven

But it feels like the road to hell

When I knew which side my bread was buttered

I took the knife as well

Posing for another picture

Everybody's got to sell

But when you shake your ass, they notice fast

And some mistakes were built to last

That's what you get

That's what you get

That's what you get

I say that's what you get

That's what you get for changing your mind

That's what you get for changing your mind

That's what you get

That's what you get

That's what you get

And after all this time

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

I don't belong to you

Is that I don't belong to you

You don't belong to me

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 in the sound

You got to give what you take

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

Freedom

I won't let you down

Freedom

So please don't give me up

Freedom

'Cause I would really, really love to stick around, to stick around

You got to give what you take

Got to give what you take

Freedom

To call on me

Freedom

Freedom

Call me baby

Freedom

That's all I need

Freedom

I would really, really love to stick around

That's my freedom
