Freedom! ’90

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Heaven knows I was just a young boy 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 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 is not the same, no way Think I'm gonna get me some happy [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 a frame (Take back your singing in the rain) I just hope you understand Sometimes the clothes do not make the man [Chorus] 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 Freedom, I won't let you down Freedom, I will not give you up Freedom, gotta have some faith Gotta have some faith in the sound [Verse 2] Heaven knows we sure had some fun, boy 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 We won the race, got out of the place Went back home, got a brand new face for the boys on MTV But today the way I play the game has got to change, oh yeah Now I'm gonna get me some happy [Pre-Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 Freedom, I will not give you up Freedom, gotta have some faith Gotta have some faith in the sound [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 a frame (Take back your singing in the rain) I just hope you understand Sometimes the clothes do not make the man [Break] Eh eh eh eh eh (Oh) Eh eh eh eh eh (I will not let you down) Eh eh eh eh eh Eh~ [Chorus (abridged)] Freedom Freedom Freedom (Freedom, freedom) Gotta have some faith in the sound Have some freedom (Have some freedom, oh) Freedom Freedom (Freedom) [Chorus] All we have to do now (All we can do) Is take these lies and make them true somehow All we have to see (Oh~) Is that I don't belong to you And you don't belong to me (Freedom) [Outro] I won't let you down I will not give you up Gotta have some faith in the sound It's the one good thing that I've got I won't let you down I will not give you up It's the one good thing that I've got
