Lyrics The Toasters

The Toasters

Freedom

Give me freedom, give me liberty

Don't want policeman with a stick in his hand

Standing over me

Freedom, fraternity

I don't pick my friends by the color of their skin

Or the language they speak

Give me freedom, equality

Don't tell me that we're brothers

But you're more equal that the others

Some time they knock you down

Tell you not to get up

Sometimes you feel that you just had enough

But you can't give it up

Coolie jump coma to mon whyra ma

Un jebe fe de youth you know out upon da corner

After school... ...revolver

And de pushit in de pocket save dat for later

De say does it take what about youth don't commit murder

If police hear dis it would em really anger

See my renegade renegade renegade police officer

And my renegade renegade renegade police police officer

Freedom is a concept not just a word

Moving like the air through the wings on a bird

Take away my money

Lock me up inside

You'll never steal ideas

Never take my pride

Give me freedom, equality

Don't tell me that we're brothers

But you're more equal that the others

Some time they knock you down

Tell you not to get up

Sometimes you feel that you just had enough

But you can't give it up

Freedom, I want freedom!

Freedom, I want freedom!

I want my freedom

Freedom, I want freedom!

I want some freedom right

Freedom, I want freedom!

Hey give me some freedom

Freedom, I want freedom!

I want some freedom right now!

Freedom, I want freedom!
