: Farm Aid

:

There’s colors on the street Red, white, and blue People shuffling their feet People sleeping in their shoes There’s a warning sign on the road ahead There’s a lot of people saying we’d be better off dead Don’t feel like Satan, but I am to them So I try to forget it any way I can

Keep on rockin’ in the free world Keep on rockin’ in the free world Keep on rockin’ in the free world Keep on rockin’ in the free world

I see a woman in the night With a baby in her hand There’s an old street light Near a garbage can Now she put the kid away and she’s gone to get a hit She hates her life and what she’s done to it There’s one more kid that’ll never go to school Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool

Keep on rockin’ in the free world Keep on rockin’ in the free world Keep on rockin’ in the free world Keep on rockin’ in the free world

We got a thousand points of light For the homeless man We got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand We’ve got department stores and toilet paper Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer Got a man of the people says keep hope alive Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive

Keep on rockin’ in the free world (x4)
