Chords: Am C Dm7 E7
repeat throughout
Verse 1:
Am C Dm7 E7
We're dancing free but we're stuck here underground
And everybody trying to figure they way out
Am C Dm7 E7
Hey hey hey, all we ever wanted to say
Was chased erased and then thrown away
Am C Dm7 E7
And day to day we live in a daze
Refrain:
We march all around til' the sun goes down night children
Broken dreams, no sunshine, endless crimes, we long for freedom (for freedom)
You're free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind
Chorus:
Am C
Oh make it rain, ain't a thang and the sky to fall
Dm7 E7
(the silver bullet's in your hand and the war's heating up)
Am C
And when the truth goes bang the shouts splatter out
Dm7 E7
(revolutionize your lives and find a way out)
Am C
And when you're growing down instead of growing up
Dm7 E7
(you gotta ooo ah ah like a panther)
Am C Dm7 E7
Tell me are you bold enough to reach for love?
Am C
(na na na...)
Dm7 E7
He lived in sector 10,
Am C
He had a friend named Benjamin
Dm7 E7
Sail away, sail away, Susan
2nd verse:
Am C
So strong for so long
Dm7 E7
All i wanna do is sing my simple song
Am C
Square or round, rich or poor
Dm7 E7
At the end of day and night all we want is more
Am C Dm7 E7
I keep my feet on solid ground and use my wings when storms come around
Am C Dm7 E7
I keep my feet on solid ground for freedom
Am C Dm7 E7
You're free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind

Closing lullaby:
And when the world just treats you wrong
Just come with me and i'll take you home
No need to pack a bag
Who put your life in the danger zone?
You running dropping like a rolling stone
No need to pack a bag
You just can't stop your hurt from hanging on
The old man dies and then a baby's born
Chan, chan, chan, change your life
And when the world just treats you wrong
Just come with me and i'll take you home
Shan, shan shan shan-gri la
Na na na na na na na na na na na.
