You're laughing you're crying Before you know it you'll be dying, young Another angry son It's too fast for you to run Too far for you to see Not for the likes of you and me Put your muzzle to the bit You won't amount to shit
You're laughing down the sidewalk you're dancing through the rain You slip and fall along the way but you don't stop to feel the pain The same is same as ever was but you don't think to see Somewhere up ahead you thought you might have seen a little piece of free Free! Not for you and me Free! Free! Like a bird on the wing Free! Free! Not for you and me Free go fly away home
You're bruising you're losing Your race is run before it can begin For the colour of your skin Or for the fires that burn within You're crying For the little bird that you found dying Cut down before it learned to fly Little bird is quickly learning how to die
You're laughing down the sidewalk you're dancing through the rain You slip and fall along the way but you don't stop to feel the pain The same is same as ever was but you don't think to see Somewhere up ahead you thought you might have seen a little piece of free Free! Not for you and me Free! Free! Like a bird on the wing Free! Free! Not for you and me Free go fly away home
Blunted minds! Justice denied Battered hides! Justice denied From the cradle to the grave Hopes embalmed and dreams enslaved Blunted minds! Justice denied Battered hides! Justice denied They dream of a world of grey But us dogs will have our day We'll have our day
