Lyrics

You got my pride
Hanging out of my bed
You mess with my life
So I bought my lead

Even mess with my children
And you're screaming at my wife
Get off of my back!
If you wanna get out of here alive

(Freedom,) freedom
(Give to me)
That's what I need, um..
(Freedom,) freedom
To live
(Freedom,) freedom
So I can give

You got my heart
Speaking electic water
You got my soul
Screaming and hollering

You know you hooked my girlfriend
You know the drug store man
Well I don't need it now
I'm just trying to slap it out of her hands!

Freedom, freedom
(Give to me)
That's what I need, um..
(Freedom,) freedom
To live
(Freedom,) freedom
So I can give

You don't have to
Say that you love me
If you don't mean it
You'd better believe

If you need me
Or you just wanna bleed me
Better stick in your dagger, someone else
So I can leave, set me free!

Yeah, she's right
(Straight ahead)
Yep...straight up there
Freedom, so I can live
Freedom, so I can give..

(Keep on pushing straight ahead...)
