There is a kind of compromise you are master of
Your endless gentle nudging left us polarised
It's hard to talk to enemies – and we are enemies
What we had in common makes it even worse
You're proud of being middle class (meaning upper class)
You say you're self sufficient (but you don't dig your own coal)
I think that what you're frightened of more than anything
Is knowing you need workers more than they need you
"A herd of independent minds" Chomsky got it right
You're jogging into battle waving old school ties

I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired.
Wait!
They're only as fast as their tanks.
Take the long way around and follow behind.
They're more afraid of you.
You got the advantage of wanting to be alive.
Somehow they're more afraid of you.
Don't get down on your knees and crawl out or you'll die.
Don't matter if you're white.
They can't look you in the eyes.
Everything is for sale my dear boy.
Everything is on sale.
Everything is for sale my dear boy.
Everything is on sale.
Everything is for sale my dear boy.
Everything is on sale.
This war-torn country club
Don't quote me in the press.
Don't quote me in the press or I'll just say, "That's absurd!"
They spent it, and they lent it, and they borrowed, and they gambled, and they killed, and they lied, and they lied, and they lied, and they lied.
Till the truth looked the same as the lie.
Safe!
They're only as safe as their breaks.
We gotta cut their fucking lines.
They're more afraid of you.
And someday, you know there'll be hell to pay.
But I'm overdrawn and that wound's been cauterized.
I'm not afraid of you.
Slaves.
Your identity's tied to the state.
Say the wrong thing you'll be ostracized.
Don't buy opinions from tools.
It's a dick swinging pissing contest for fools.
Worthless when the well runs dry.
Can't quench your thirst by being right.
I'm tired of watching everybody try.

There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be 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
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free
I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
There's an old street light (near a garbage can)
Near a garbage can (near a garbage can)
And now she put the kid away and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that'll 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
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
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
