Billy starts another day
Signs in for another day
Ah, theâ morningâ is hot, butâ the sun, it don't shine
He's savingâ for a piece of real estate
Don't mind him working late
He might just make the price with overtime
And he sang
Freedom, yeah, yeah, yo
Freedom, yeah, yeah, yo
He doesn't feel safe on the subway
He doesn't feel safe on the highway
His wife can't sleep at night, so he buys a gun
And Billy shoots in a straight line
In a land of sunshine
Bread and cars and TV for everyone
And he sang
Freedom, yeah, yeah, yo
Freedom, yeah, yeah, yo
(Freedom)
You are under arrest
You have the right to remain silent
(Freedom)
You have the right to an attorney
Anything you say may be used against you
Be a millionaire, it's easy
Like the people on the TV, yeah, yo
(Freedom)
Billy thinks of high school
Where he learned to play cool
Where he learned to be told and fly the flag
(Freedom)
There's a hole in the sky, but Billy don't care
Fear and famine everywhere
For a regular guy, ain't life a drag?
And he sang
Freedom, yeah, yeah, yo
Freedom, yeah, yeah, yo
Freedom, yeah, yeah, yo
Freedom, yeah, yeah, yo
