Freedom Lyrics - The Generators

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 

So please don't give me up 

Because I would really, really love to stick around 

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 

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 

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 

You've gotta give for what you take 

Freedom 

You've gotta give for what you take 

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 

You've gotta give for what you take 

Freedom 

You've gotta give for what you take 

Well it looks like the road to heaven 

But it feels like the road to hell 

When I knew which side my bread was buttered 

I took the knife as well 

Posing for another picture 

Everybody's got to sell 

But when you shake your ass 

They notice fast 

And some mistakes were built to last 

That's what you get 

I say that's what you get 

That's what you get for changing your mind 

And after all this time 

I just hope you understand 

Sometimes the clothes 

Do not make the man 

I'll hold on to my freedom 

May not be what you want from me 

Just the way it's got to be 

Lose the face now 

I've got to live
