Freedom Ain't What It Use to Be
Kerouac used to walk these roadsÂ
(I know he did, I know he did)Â
Miles of type strewn behind him soÂ
(He knew how to live, he knew how to live)Â
Throw the arching for a perfect dreamÂ
(I know he did, I know he did)Â
Red pills, blue pills, white pills, greenÂ
(He knew how to live, he knew how to live)Â
Look before you leapÂ
Watch the company you keepÂ
Never fall asleepÂ
'Cause the ocean's too deepÂ
Look before you leapÂ
Watch the company you keepÂ
Never fall asleepÂ
Freedom ain't what it used to beÂ
Ain't what it ought to beÂ
It used to be so freeÂ
No, freedom ain't what it ought to beÂ
Ain't what it used to beÂ
I can't even thinkÂ
The art of war was written in bloodÂ
(I know it was, I know it was)Â
There is no peace not born of loveÂ
(Just because, just because)Â
I'm not sure who to kiss, you can't even fuckÂ
(It's just my luck, it's just my luck)Â
I'm riding home on the wings of a doveÂ
(Just because, just because)Â
Freedom ain't what it used to beÂ
Ain't what it ought to beÂ
It used to be so freeÂ
No, freedom ain't what it ought to beÂ
Ain't what it used to beÂ
You know, I can't even thinkÂ
Look before you leapÂ
Watch the company you keepÂ
Never fall asleepÂ
'Cause the ocean's too deepÂ
Look before you leapÂ
Watch the company you keepÂ
Never fall asleep
