Freedom Rock Lyrics
My name is chip
And I’m different
I don’t conform
I wear a different uniform
I’m out of the blue
And so you are, too
Let me sing about one thing that’s clear
That nobody owns
The pleasure of tones
That belongs to a guy with no ear
They tried to give me advice
Down at the record shop
I said sit down boys
This may come as a shock
What’s all I listen to
It’s all freedom rock
How can you free me [4x]
When I’m free?
I am free
My name is chip
And I’m different
I don’t conform
I wear a different uniform
I’m out of the blue
And so you are, too
Let me sing about one thing that’s clear
That nobody owns
The pleasure of tones
That belongs to a guy with no ear
And I’m different
I don’t conform
I wear a different uniform
And so you are, too
Let me sing about one thing that’s clear
That nobody owns
The pleasure of tones
That belongs to a guy with no ear
Down at the record shop
I said sit down boys
This may come as a shock
What’s all I listen to
It’s all freedom rock
How can you free me [4x]
When I’m free?
I am free
And I’m different
I don’t conform
I wear a different uniform
And so you are, too
Let me sing about one thing that’s clear
The pleasure of tones
That belongs to a guy with no ear

Sir Charles said it well in this song - Do not be a follower, the sounds you like are yours to decide, be thankful you can hear what you do.
There used to be these ads on TV for this music compilation you could buy called "Freedom Rock". It was stuff from the late 60's and early 70's, Found the commercial on Youtube with a list of the songs in the description - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKDk-mg1J9Q. If Frank was referring to this, then maybe it came "as a shock" to some people that an icon of alternative rock listened to all of that classic rock that many of the punks rejected.
