i was never free
No one's ever free
can't even choose your name

can't even go outside
won't even see your smile
and that's what i'd like to do

images from your life
like ghosts they pass
make you sad
where are you, where are you now

i was never free
No one's ever free
can't even choose your name
can't even go outside
won't even see your smile
and that's what i'd like to do

from the bomb to the beatles
from her to the words he said
when you go
someone will put a flower on your forehead

the crops of her thousand acres have frozen
and the beat groups won't save you from yourself
not even from the thirst

and all the times you've upset other people
the tears you've made your mother cry
and all the holes were already there
when she stabbed you in the back

beat groups won't save you from yourself
not even from the thirst
