Dick Brave & the Backbeats

Freedom

Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be (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 the rock'n'roll TV (rock'n'roll TV)
But today the way I play the game has got to change (oh yeah)
Now I'm gonna 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 I forgot to be
Take back your picture in the frame
Take back your singing in the rain
Just hope you understand
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, yeah yeah
Freedom .....
I won't let you down
Freedom ....
So, please don't give me up
Freedom .....
Gotta have some faith in the sound
(You've gotta give for what you take)
It's the one good thing that I've got
Freedom .....
I won't let you down
Freedom .....
So, please don't give me up
Freedom ......
Because I would really, really love to stick around


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
I 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 myself happy

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

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 .....
Please don't give me up
Freedom .....
Gotta have some faith in the sound
It's the one good thing that I've got
Freedom .....
I won't let you down
Freedom .....
So, please don't give me up
Because I would really, really love to stick around
Freedom .... Freedom .... Freedom .... Freedom ...
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom... Freedom .... Freedom .... Freedom ...
You've gotta give for what you take
