Hey now, Mama used to say:
“What’s the use of spoiling a perfect day?
Does a flower compromise its beauty
Wond’rin if it’s gonna rain?”
Hey now, you might have the power
People bowin’ down
They give you all those special things
Just because you’re world renowned
Oh, no!
There ain’t no freedom
(No freedom...)
There ain’t no freedom
(No freedom...)
There ain’t no freedom
(Ain't no freedom...)
When you got a worryin’ mind
Hey now, you might be sailin’
On the perfect sea
The water is lapis lazuli
And eighty-five degrees
But there ain’t no freedom
(Ain't no freedom...)
There ain’t no freedom
(Ain't no freedom...)
There ain’t no freedom
(Ain't no freedom...)
When you got a worryin’ mind
There ain’t no freedom
(Ain't no freedom...)
There ain’t no freedom
(Ain't no freedom...)
There ain’t no freedom
(Ain't no freedom...)
When you got a worryin’ mind
You might be travellin’
At the speed of sound
As light as a feather
As high as the sky
Never lookin’ down
Hey now, Mama used to say
“What’s the use of spoilin’ a perfect day?
Does a flower compromise its glory wondrin’ if it’s gonna rain?”
No way, no no
Hey now, you might have a hit
On the radio
Success might scoop you up
And never let you go
(Never let you go...)
There ain’t no freedom
(Ain't no freedom...)
There ain’t no freedom
(Ain't no freedom...)
There ain’t no freedom
(Ain't no freedom...)
When you got a worryin’ mind
There ain’t no freedom
There ain’t no freedom
(Ain't no freedom...)
There ain’t no freedom
(Ain't no freedom...)
When you got a worryin’ mind
There ain’t no freedom
There ain’t no freedom
There ain’t no freedom
When you got a worryin’ mind
