Every day I listened to you and nothing’s ever good enough You’re always complaining about something You act so goddamn tough but all you ever do Is let someone do your thinking for you And you have no respect for my opinion Well, at least I think for myself, I’m not brainwashed To think like people that rule I’m not a pool and I’ll rise, I won’t compromise And I’ll never give up
I won’t walk away There won’t be another day When I can say hey, hey… freedom! Hey hey hey! Hey hey hey! Hey hey hey!
You talk to me I see your lips move But the words that come out aren’t yours, they’re someone else’s You dangle from their strings beneath the wings Of the eagle you push, but I’ll never fall I’m not the only one who’s willing to stand up We’ve had enough, your laws just benefit you We watch you get richer as we get sicker And we’ll rise with battle cries and we’ll never give up
I won’t walk, walk, walk away There won’t be another day When I can say hey, hey… freedom! Hey hey hey! Hey hey hey! Hey hey hey!
