It's a miserable friday night

I'm so lonely

And nobody'll give me a ride

To the grateful dead concert...oh rats!



I got to be free

Free as the wind

Free is the way

I got to be



Maybe i'm lost

Maybe i sinned

I got to be

Totally free



Our parents don't love us

Our teachers they say

Things that are boring

So we're running away

And we will be free

And people will see

That when we are free

That's the way we should be



Nothing left to do but get out the 'ol

Glue

(sniff it good now...)



Our parents don't love us

Our teachers they say

Things that are boring

So we're running away



And we will be free

And people will see

That when we are free

That's the way we should be

(we must be free!)

The glue! the glue! i can't find the glue!

(we must be free as the wind)

If i was at the concert now, i'd be ripped!

(we were free when we were born)

I could tighten my headband for an extra rush

During jerry's guitar solo

Then i could go to a midnite show of 200 motels!

(we were born free, but, now we are not free anymore!)

"opal, you hot little bitch!"

"you can take this pin n' hang it in yer ass!"

"you ain't the devil!"

"where's my waitress?"

But we wanna be free

An' were gonna be free



Yes, we want to be free and we're gonna be free

... did you know that

Free is when you don't have to

Pay for nothing

Or do nothing

We want to be free

Free as the wind



Free is when you don't have to

Pay for nothing

Or do nothing

We want to be free

Free as the wind



Free is when you don't have to

Pay for nothing

Or do nothing

We want to be free

Free as the wind



Free is when you don't have to

Pay for nothing

Or do nothing

We want to be free

Free as the wind
