Freedom! '90

I won't let you down

I will not give you up

Gotta have some faith in the sound

It's the one good thing that I've got

I won't let you down

So please don't give me up

Because I would really, really love to stick around

Oh, yeah

Heaven knows I was just a young boy

Didn't know what I wanted to be (Didn't know what I wanted to be)

I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy

And I guess it was enough for me (And I guess it was enough for me)

To win the race, a prettier face

Brand new clothes and a big fat place

On your rock and roll TV (Rock and roll TV)

But today the way I play the game is not the same, no way

Think I'm gonna get me some happy

I think there's something you should know

(I think it's time I told you so)

There's something deep inside of me

(There's someone else I've got to be)

Take back your picture in a frame

(Take back your singing in the rain)

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you and you don't belong to me, yeah yeah

Freedom (I won't let you down)

Freedom (I will not give you up)

Freedom (Gotta have some faith in the sound)

You've got to give what you take (It's the one good thing that I've got)

Freedom (I won't let you down)

Freedom (So please don't give me up)

Freedom ('Cause I would really)

You've got to give what you take (really love to stick around)

Heaven knows we sure had some fun, boy

What a kick just a buddy and me (What a kick just a buddy and me)

We had every big-shot goodtime band on the run, boy

We were living in a fantasy (We were living in a fantasy)

We won the race, got out of the place

Went back home, got a brand new face for the boys on MTV (Boys on MTV)

But today the way I play the game has got to change, oh yeah

Now I'm gonna get myself happy

I think there's something you should know

(I think it's time I stopped the show)

There's something deep inside of me

(There's someone I forgot to be)

Take back your picture in a frame

(Don't think that I'll I be back again)

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you and you don't belong to me, yeah yeah

Freedom (I won't let you down)

Freedom (I will not give you up)

Freedom (Gotta have some faith in the sound)

You got to give what you take

(It's the one good thing that I've got)

Freedom (I won't let you down)

Freedom (So please don't give me up)

Freedom ('Cause I would really)

You got to give what you take (really love to stick around)

Well, it looks like the road to heaven

But it feels like the road to hell

When I knew which side my bread was buttered

I took the knife as well

Posing for another picture

Everybody's got to sell

But when you shake your ass

They notice fast

And some mistakes were build to last

(That's what you get)

That's what you get

(That's what you get)

I say that's what you get

(I say that's what you get for changing your mind)

That's what you get for changing your mind

(That's what you get)

(That's what you get) And after all this time

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me, yeah yeah

Freedom (Oh)

Freedom

(My) Freedom

You've gotta give for what you take

Freedom (I'll hold on to my)

Freedom

(My) Freedom

You got to give what, to give what, give what you take

Yeah!

You got to give what, give to what, to give

May not be what you want from me

Just the way it's got to be

Lose the face now

I've got to live
