I'm glad I'm here just like you.
And if I say a thing or two,
that doesn't mean I'm all that mad,
or that I think this place is bad.
We got a land and the land is free,
and no one loves it more than me.
But a man's got a right to talk about
what's on his mind.
That doesn't necessary mean
he's a revolution kind.
"Destruction's near" we heard 'em moan,
but I got conclusions of my own.
And I've got some kid I have to teach
that if somebody makes a speech
and what he said you don't agree,
just let him scream - the man is free.
But a man's got a right to talk about
what's on his mind.
That doesn't necessary mean
he's a revolution kind.
These words all have been said before
by men who had to go to war,
by men who cried and kissed their wife,
by men who had to give their life,
by better men, my friend, than me.
That's why this land we have is free.
But a man's got a right to talk about
what's on his mind.
That doesn't necessary mean
he's a revolution kind.
Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no.
