Housemartins - Freedom lyrics
I used to think you understood<br>Taught me right and learnt me good<br>Made things simple for my brain<br>Told the truth and made it plain<br>But the implications I mistook<br>Until I found out whose side you took<br>And now with paper in my hand<br>I'm beginning to understand<br><br>So this is freedom - {they must be joking}<br>They must be joking - {if they think it's true}<br>So this is freedom - [i doubt their truth}<br>So this is freedom - {for me and you}<br><br>From the front page news to the interviews<br>Its sink the reds and left the blues<br>They pretend they're differing points of view<br>But it's only different shades of blue<br><br>But the implications I mistook<br>Until I found out whose side you took<br>And now with paper in my hand<br>I'm beginning to understand<br><br>So this is freedom - {they must be joking}<br>They must be joking - {if they think it's true}<br>So this is freedom - [i doubt their truth}<br>So this is freedom - {for me and you}<br><br>[guitar solo]<br><br>So this is freedom - {they must be joking}<br>They must be joking - {if they think it's true}<br>So this is freedom - [i doubt their truth}<br>So this is freedom - {for me and you}<br><br>F.r.e.e.d.o.m.<br>They locked us up once<br>So they'll do it again<br><br>C.h.a.i.n.e.d.<br>They locked up my friends<br>Now they're coming for me
