Intro More tough news on the late night TV News lady tells me that it's cold outside Man gets his carjacked, graveyard gets ransacked Everybody knows that there ain't no place to hide Late night drive-by, there's blood on the sidewalk Rain's gonna wash out that stain someday That stupid kid should have known this ain't no cakewalk You can't just wear your bandana that way Ain't that freedom for you Ain't that freedom for you Freedom American style Hot car rollin' down an empty highway The keys were in it man it serves the owner right The youg girl attacked in the woods off the parkway She should have known not to jog alone at night Drugs rule downtown, gangs rule midtown You're on your own when they both collide I keep my doors locked with bars on my window Got an alarm in my car, keep my kids inside Ain't that freedom for you Ain't that freedom for you Freedom American style (solo) More tough news on the late night TV News lady tells me that it's cold outside Man gets his carjacked, graveyard gets ransacked Everybody knows that there ain't no place to hide I keep my arms around whatever I've got It's an alright world but you know I watch myself I'm virtually free to do whatever I want But I try to remember so is everybody else Ain't that freedom for you Ain't that freedom for you Freedom American style Ain't that freedom for you Freedom American style
