Give Me Back My Freedom

(album: Whatcha Gonna Do? - 1981)

They put me in the jailhouse
They take away my money
Treat me like a white mouse
Man that isn't funny
Lock the door and throw away the key
No one is allowed to comfort me

Give me back my freedom
Let me see the daylight
Make them stop the bleeding
Can't you see it ain't right

Put me on the chain gang
And work me till I can't stand
Say it's for my brother
They treat me like a martyr

Put me in a false society
Make me something I don't want to be

Give me back my freedom
And let me see the daylight
Make them stop the bleeding
Can't you see it ain't right

Give me back my freedom
Let me see the daylight
Make them stop the bleeding
Can't you see it ain't right

Give me back my freedom
And let me see the daylight
Make them stop the bleeding
And can't you see it ain't right

Give me back my freedom
Let me see the daylight
And make them stop the bleeding
Can't you see it ain't right

Give me back my freedom
Give me back my freedom
Give me back my freedom
