Paroles de Free At Last
You tell me it's not a thing about raceExcept maybe down in Dixie
You tell me things have changed a lot
And I'm just stuck in the sixties
You tell me the poor are movin'
Into the middle class
Are you tellin' me they're free at last?
I must have been confused when I walked the inner city
Bombed out buildings must have been a set for a movie
When I saw the all-black schools
I must admit they had me fooled
I could have sworn there was inequality
Can't walk here, it's too black
Can't walk there, way too white
Can't go uptown, so they say
Not alone, or at night, no way
I just want to walk all over this world
And I will, when we're all free at last
You merge and downsize companies
You send our jobs across the seas
You cut the safety net and then
You dump your waste on us and when
You've got a couple minutes
You build some jails and cut the schools
And then you tell us we're free at last
I must have been confused when I walked the inner city
Bombed out buildings must have been a set for a movie
When I saw the all-black schools
I must admit they had me fooled
I could have sworn there was inequality
Can't walk here, it's too black
Can't walk there, way too white
Can't go uptown, so they say
Not alone, or at night, no way
I just want to walk all over this world
And I will, when we're all free at last
You merge and downsize companies
You send our jobs across the seas
You cut the safety net and then
You dump your waste on us and when
You've got a couple minutes
You build some jails and cut the schools
And then you tell us we're free at last
