there’s colors on the street red, white and blue
people shufflin’ in their shoes
there’s a warning sign on the road ahead
there’s a lot of people sayin’ we’d better off dead
don’t feel like satan but I am to them
so I try to forget it, any way I can
keep on rockin’ in the free world
I see a woman in the night with a baby in her hand
there’s an old street light, near a garbage can
now she puts the kid away and she’s gone to get a hit
she hates her life and what she’s doing to it
there’s one more kid that will never go to school
never get to fall in love never got to be cool
keep on rockin’ in the free world
we got a thousand points of light for the homeless man
we got a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand
we got department stores and toilet paper
got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
got a man of the people says keep hope alive
got fuel to burn got roads to drive
keep on rockin’ in the free world
