To Be Free
作詞:David J. Cousins
The gilt-edged invitation came And I said, 'What can this mean?' To attend the coronation As the first guest of the queen
And sit upon her right hand Where the prince is mostly seen? The maids of honor stared at me And register surprised
To see a man of such good taste Appear before their eyes Now being rather humble I adopted a disguise
As the minister of state For mass environment controls Who condemn the working classes For inhabiting the holes
That belong to queen and country But do not permit their souls to be free like me To be free like me, oh to be free

While the power station workers Were busy making hay The workers in the fields Were engaged in self-defense

I stopped to ask them for a light They pointed at the sun Which raised their hopes of harvesting A better crop than guns
Can ever mass-produce At the expense of anyone who is free like me Who is free like me, oh who is free?
The solitary peasant In his home above the lake Raised high on wooden stilts Has made the singular mistake
Of revolutionary conduct At the celebration wake His urban counterpart Engaged in mundane occupation
Enjoys the chance of laughing At the queen's humiliation At the hands of ministers of state For rehabilitation
Now the power station worker Though his aim is too disjointed Finds himself around the corner While his gun is never pointed
He is ever at the ready He desires to be anointed and be free like me And be free like me, and be free like me, oh and be free
