There's colors on the streetRed, white and bluePeople shufflin' their feetPeople sleepin' in their shoesBut there's a warnin' sign on the road aheadThere's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off deadDon't feel like Satan, but I am to themSo I try to forget it any way I canKeep on rockin' in the free worldKeep on rockin' in the free worldKeep on rockin' in the free worldKeep on rockin' in the free worldI see a woman in the nightWith a baby in her handThere's an old street light (near a garbage can)Near a garbage can (near a garbage can)And now she put the kid away and she's gone to get a hitShe hates her life and what she's done to itThere's one more kid that'll never go to schoolNever get to fall in love, never get to be coolKeep on rockin' in the free worldKeep on rockin' in the free worldKeep on rockin' in the free worldKeep on rockin' in the free worldWe got a thousand points of lightFor the homeless manWe got a kinder, gentler machine gun handWe got department stores and toilet paperGot Styrofoam boxes for the ozone layerGot a man of the people, says keep hope aliveGot fuel to burn, got roads to driveKeep on rockin' in the free worldKeep on rockin' in the free worldKeep on rockin' in the free worldKeep on rockin' in the free worldLyrics Licensed & Provided by LyricFind | By: Frank M.

Silence

Intro

There's colors on the street

Verse

Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' 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

Chorus

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

Instrumental

I see a woman in the night

Verse

With a baby in her hand
There's an old street light (near a garbage can)
Near a garbage can (near a garbage can)
And 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

Chorus

Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world

Instrumental

We got a thousand points of light

Verse

For the homeless man
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
Keep on rockin' in the free world

Chorus

Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world

Outro
