Indigo Girls - rockin' in the free world lyrics

there's colors on the street

red white and blue

people shuffling their feet

people sleeping in their shoes

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 saton but i am to them

so i try to forget it any way i can

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

i see a woman in the night

with a baby in her hands

under an old street light

next to a garbage can

and she puts the kid away

cause she wants to get a hit

she hates her life

and what she's done to it

one more kid that will never go to school

never get to fall in love never get to be cool

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

we got a thousand points of light

for the homeless man

a kinder gentler machine gun hand

we got department stores and toliet paper

styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer

the man in power says to keep our hope alive

fuel to burn roads to drive

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
