Descriptions:
“Rockin’ in the Free World” by Neil Young is one of his most iconic and politically charged songs. Released in 1989 on the album Freedom, it mixes gritty rock energy with a scathing critique of American society and politics, especially under the George H. W. Bush administration.
Lyrics
There’s colors on the streetRed, white and bluePeople shufflin’ their feetPeople sleepin’ in their shoesBut there’s a warnin’ signon the road aheadThere’s a lot of people sayin’we’d be better off deadDon’t feel like Satan,but I am to themSo I try to forget it,any way I can.
Keep on rockin’ in the free world,Keep on rockin’ in the free worldKeep on rockin’ in the free world,Keep on rockin’ in the free world.
I see a woman in the nightWith a baby in her handUnder an old street lightNear a garbage canNow she puts the kid away,and she’s gone to get a hitShe hates her life,and what she’s done to itThere’s one more kidthat will never go to schoolNever get to fall in love,never get to be cool.
Keep on rockin’ in the free world,Keep on rockin’ in the free worldKeep on rockin’ in the free world,Keep on rockin’ in the free world.
We got a thousand points of lightFor the homeless manWe got a kinder, gentler,Machine gun handWe got department storesand toilet paperGot styrofoam boxesfor the ozone layerGot a man of the people,says keep hope aliveGot fuel to burn,got roads to drive.
Keep on rockin’ in the free world,Keep on rockin’ in the free worldKeep on rockin’ in the free world,Keep on rockin’ in the free world.
