Cry Freedom Lyrics - Singles - Franky Perez

A poor boy in rich man's clothes 

A young child with an old man's soul 

A prostitute with long term goals 

A blue collar priest 

I won't lie for an honest buck 

I'm a messenger in a pick-up truck 

My old man ran into hard luck 

And passed it down to me 

So, I start a revolution 

One note at a time 

It's a desperate cry for freedom 

And a better way of life 

Let's make everyday the Fourth Of July 

I won't stand in your welfare line 

What I lack in cash I make up in pride 

You get yours and I'll get mine 

I got to feed my family 

The government takes half our wages 

Picket lines and classified pages 

You can't count on the man to save us 

So, we take it to the streets 

So, I start a revolution 

One note at a time 

It's a desperate cry for freedom 

And a better way of life 

Let's make everyday the Fourth Of July 

Cry freedom 

From the Bronx to East L.A. 

Cry freedom 

From North Las Vegas to the San Francisco Bay 

So, I start a revolution 

One note at a time 

A freedom song is useless 

If you're not prepared to die 

I'll make everyday the Fourth Of July 

Cry freedom, cry freedom 

Cry freedom, cry freedom 

Cry freedom, cry freedom 

Cry freedom, cry freedom 

Cry freedom, cry freedom
