Lyrics

we're dancing free, but we're stuck here underground, and everybody trying to figure they way out, hey hey hey hey, all we ever wanted to say, was chased erased and then thrown away, and day to day, we live in a daze, we march all around til' the sun goes down night children, broken dreams, no sunshine, endless crimes, we long for freedom, you're free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind, oh make it rain, ain't a thing in the sky to fall, and when the truth goes bang the shouts splatter out, and when you're growing down instead of growing up, tell me are you bold enough to reach for love?, he lived in sector ten, he had a friend named benjamin, sail away, sail away susan, so strong for so long, all i wanna do is sing my simple song, square or round, rich or poor, at the end of day and night all we want is more, i keep my feet on solid ground and use my wings when storms come around, i keep my feet on solid ground for freedom, you're free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind, oh make it rain, ain't a thing in the sky to fall, and when the truth goes bang the shouts splatter out, and when you're growing down instead of growing up, tell me are you bold enough to reach for love?, civil rights, civil war, hood rat, crack whore, carefree, nightclub, closet drunk, bathtub, outcast, weirdo, stepchild, freak show, black girl, bad hair, broad nose, cold stare, tap shoes, broadway, tuxedo, holiday, creative black, love song, stupid words, erase song, gun shots, orange house, dead man walking with a dirty mouth, spoiled milk, stale bread, welfare, bubonic plague, record deal, light bulb, keep back kid now corporate thug, breast cancer, common cold, hiv, lost hope, overweight, self esteem, misfit, broken dream, fish tank, small bowl, closed mind, dark hold, cybergirl, droid control, get away now they trying to steal your soul, microphone, one stage, tomboy, outrage, street fight, bloody war, instigators, third floor, promiscuous child, broken dream, std, quarantine, heroin user, coke head, final chapter, death bed, plastic sweat, metal skin, metallic tears, mannequin, carefree, night club, closet drunk, bathtub, white house, jim crow, dirty lies, my regards, and when the world just treats you wrong, just come with me and i'll take you home, no need to pack a bag, who put your life in the danger zone?, you running dropping like a rolling stone, no need to pack a bag, you just can't stop your hurt from hanging on, the old man dies and then a baby's born, chan, chan, chan, change your life, and when the world just treats you wrong, just come with me and i'll take you home, shan, shan shan shan-gri la, na na na na na na na na na na na
