Verse 1:  
Am                                       C                               Dm7         E7 
We're dancing free but we're stuck here underground  

And everybody trying to figure they way out  
Am                                       C                               Dm7         E7 
Hey hey hey, all we ever wanted to say  

Was chased erased and then thrown away  
Am                                       C                               Dm7         E7 
And day to day we live in a daze  

Refrain:  

We march all around til' the sun goes down night children  

Broken dreams, no sunshine, endless crimes, we long for freedom (for freedom)  

You're free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind  

Chorus:  
Am                               C                               
Oh make it rain, ain't a thang and the sky to fall  
 Dm7                                E7 
(the silver bullet's in your hand and the war's heating up)  
Am                                       C                               
And when the truth goes bang the shouts splatter out  
Dm7                       E7 
(revolutionize your lives and find a way out)  
Am                                       C                               
And when you're growing down instead of growing up  
Dm7                    E7 
(you gotta ooo ah ah like a panther)  
Am                                       C                               Dm7         E7 
Tell me are you bold enough to reach for love?  
Am          C                               
(na na na...)  

                 Dm7         E7 
He lived in sector 10,  
                                    Am             C                               
He had a friend named Benjamin 
                                Dm7    E7 
Sail away, sail away, Susan 


2nd verse:  
Am                C                               
So strong for so long  
Dm7                                E7 
All i wanna do is sing my simple song  
Am                       C 
Square or round, rich or poor  
Dm7                                             E7 
At the end of day and night all we want is more  
Am           C                               Dm7                             E7 
I keep my feet on solid ground and use my wings when storms come around  
Am           C                               Dm7         E7 
I keep my feet on solid ground for freedom  
Am                  C                               Dm7         E7 
You're free but in your mind, your freedom's in a bind  

Chorus  

Cybernetic chantdown:  
Civil rights, civil war  
Hood rat, crack whore  
Carefree, nightclub  
Closet drunk, bathtub  
Outcast, weirdo  
Stepchild, freak show  
Black girl, bad hair  
Broad nose, cold stare  
Tap shoes, broadway  
Tuxedo, holiday  
Creative black, love song  
Stupid words, erased song  
Gun shots, orange house  
Dead man walking with a dirty mouth  
Spoiled milk, stale bread  
Welfare, bubonic plague  
Record deal, light bulb  
Keep back kid not corporate thug  
Breast cancer, common cold  
Hiv, lost hope  
Overweight, self esteem  
Misfit, broken dream  
Fish tank, small bowl  
Closed mind, dark hold  
Cybergirl, droid control  
Get away now they trying to steal your soul  
Microphone, one stage  
Tomboy, outrage  
Street fight, bloody war  
Instigators, third floor  
Promiscuous child, broken dream  
Std, quarentine  
Heroin user, coke head  
Final chapter, death bed  
Plastic sweat, metal skin  
Metallic tears, mannequin  
Carefree, night club  
Closet drunk, bathtub  
White house, jim crow  
Dirty lies, my regards  

Closing lullaby:  
And when the world just treats you wrong  
Just come with me and i'll take you home  
No need to pack a bag  
Who put your life in the danger zone?  
You running dropping like a rolling stone  
No need to pack a bag  
You just can't stop your hurt from hanging on  
The old man dies and then a baby's born  
Chan, chan, chan, change your life  
And when the world just treats you wrong  
Just come with me and i'll take you home  
Shan, shan shan shan-gri la  
Na na na na na na na na na na na.
