Rockin' in the Free World (Neil Young cover) Lyrics
Red, white and blue
People shufflin� their feet
People sleepin� in their shoes
But there�s a warnin� sign on the road ahead
There�s a lot of people sayin� we�d be better off dead
Don�t feel like satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it, any way I can.
Keep on rockin� in the free world
Keep on rockin� in the free world,
Keep on rockin� in the free world.
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near a garbage can
Now she puts the kid away, and she�s gone to get a hit
She hates her life, and what she�s done to it
There�s one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool.
Keep on rockin� in the free world
Keep on rockin� in the free world,
Keep on rockin� in the free world.
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive.
Keep on rockin� in the free world
Keep on rockin� in the free world,
Keep on rockin� in the free world.
I love this song! I hadn't really heard any of Pearl Jams songs until a friend of mine let me copy some CD's and this is one of the songs that made me say... "ok... these guys are cool..."
i've never heard this cover (but yes rpqqagmerjmb i will download) but i've been a neil young fan all my life since my dad hero worships him. This is a fantastic song. if ur unfamilar w/youngs work go check it out cause the guitar is great as are the lyrics.
Bush needs to loop this song and see if he can learn something. You don't spread freedom at the business end of a gun. 2008 can't come soon enough.
the last song they played when i saw them live in the summer of 03.....the energy from the crowd was incredible....as great of a cover as last kiss
this song is an exegis on american life, no matter what you see there is always some thing under the surface...I'd ahte to say it, because pearl jamk is seriously my favortie band in the world.......but neil young still owns this song, I saw a recent version of it and it blows away any version pearl jam has done....but pearl jam is still the greatest band on the face of the earth...
The version they did with U2 in 2005 is incredible...
Saw them with my bro a while back
Didn't top "Alive" that night (nothing tops "Alive" EVER), but it sure did end the show on a high note
They've actually done this live with Neil before too. Sucks I couldn't see that
yeah NO CODE got it right, both times... the meaning and the fact that Pearl Jam is the greatest band to ever walk this planet.
definetly Eddie doesn't said: "I see a woman in the night" he says something like "I see the dirter of the night."
"I see a girl in the night"
"I see a girl in the night"
It's not always clear in the actual PJ version of Rockin' In the Free World, but the Live on Two Legs version of Daughter segues into that verse of Free World and it's clear as day.

The Pinkpop '92 version with the Suggestion/Pulled Up tab is fucking GREAT, one of the best live performances of all time.
