Freedom! ’25

Heaven knows I was just a young boy I didn't know what I wanted to be I was every hungry little school girl's pride and joy And I guess that 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 But today the way I play the game has got to change Now I gotta 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 I've got to be Take back your picture in its frame Take back your singing in the rain I just hope you understand Sometimes the clothes do not make the man 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 Freedom, I won't let you down So please don't give me up Gotta have some faith in the sound It's the one good thing that I've got I won't let you down So please don't give me up 'Cause I would really love to stick around (Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom) You got to give what you take Heaven knows we sure had some fun, boy What a kick, just my buddy and me We had every big shot, good time band on the run, boy We were living in our fantasy We won the race, got out of the place Went back home, got a brand new face for the boys on MTV Now today the way I play the game is not the same, no I gotta get myself happy, I've got to get myself 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 its frame Don't know that I'll be back again I just hope you understand Sometimes the clothes do not make the man 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 Freedom, I won't let you down So please don't give me up Freedom, gotta have some faith in the sound It's the one good thing that I've got Please don't let me down Please don't let me (Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom) You got to give what you take
