jon lawler - when we was free lyrics

Loading...

well they painted me in greens and reds
tattooed my brain and poisoned my head
with alien propaganda all the way

and my mind it was blown and my hands they were numb
i told all my lies of what i had become
and the man with the [?] gun p-ssed me a grin
because everybody gets
what everybody wants
wish it was way back
when we was free

well an angel stole my eyes and fled
down on the highway of gold and of lead
singing hey hey la la yeah man i got my thrill today

and they covered me from head to toe
in messages of hate you know
like don’t ask me no questions get no lies

because everybody knows
they’ll make you touch your toes
wish it was way back
when we was free

well i laughed as the clown and the prince told their tales
of knocking back vodkas in prisons and jails
and the wise man told me of [?] finance and s-xual law

so i packed up my suitcase and i flew out the door
i yelled out there ain’t no real people no more
and they caught me and made me salute like a good man does

but i just can’t because
they’ll kneel down for the boss
wish it was way back
when we was free

well evangelists blasphemed and wizards play tricks
on priestesses [?] just for getting their kicks
on talk shows and tvs and desecration feasts

so i ran through the fields and i swam on the sh-r-
believing that no one could touch me no more
and right there and then i sang till my throat it bled

because everybody gets
what everybody wants
wish it was way back
when we was free

well the rivers rolled and the sky turned black
i ran like a pacifist watching his back
while the day-glo soldiers gunned down the royal fleet

so i walked through the city with tears in my eyes
past phony idealists and secrets and lies
and the jokes made her think i’m part of all that i hate

because everybody knows
they’ll make you touch your toes
wish it was way back
when we was free
