(inconvenient truths) In a free world:

There’s colors on the street

Red, White and Blue

People shuffling their feet, people sleeping in their shoes

But 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

I see a woman in the night with a baby in her hand

Under an old street light, near a garbage can

Now she puts 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 will never go to school

Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool.

We got a thousand points of light for the homeless man

Now he’s sleeping in the dark anywhere he can

We got a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand

We 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

But, by all means, go on “rocking in the free world”, the greatest country on earth -- lembro-me bem destes discursos.
