Free Lyrics
I can break your chains
Crack your cage apart
I can tear your walls down
With the beating of my heart
And if you said I have no choice
I would tell you you're a liar
I'm not afraid to chuck this frying pan into your fire
I'm a million miles high
I'm a piece of the sky
Well I'm the purple in the rainbow
My my my
I'm like wind in your hair
I'm like the rain on the sea
Cause I'm free I'm free I'm free
oh!
Oh you can't keep me down
Put me in your place
I will never wear your 20th century pacemaker face yeah
You will never bleed
The spirit out of me
I'm flesh and blood, I'm real
I'm not your factory fantasy
No not me
I'm a million miles high
I'm a piece of the sky
Well I'm the purple in the rainbow
My my my
I'm like wind in your hair
I'm like the rain on the sea
I'm free I'm free I'm free
yea!
Well you can't keep me down
Put me in your place
I will never wear your 20th century pacemaker face yeah
You will never bleed
The spirit out of me
NO!
I'm flesh and blood, I'm real
I'm not your factory fantasy
No not me
I'm a million miles high
I'm a piece of the sky
Well I'm the purple in the rainbow
My my my
I'm like wind in your hair
I'm like rain on the sea
Well I'm free I'm free I'm free
I'm a million miles high
I'm a piece of the sky
The purple in the rainbow
My my my
I'm like wind in your hair
I'm like the rain on the sea
Well I'm free I'm free I'm free
Crack your cage apart
I can tear your walls down
With the beating of my heart
And if you said I have no choice
I would tell you you're a liar
I'm not afraid to chuck this frying pan into your fire
I'm a piece of the sky
Well I'm the purple in the rainbow
My my my
I'm like wind in your hair
I'm like the rain on the sea
Cause I'm free I'm free I'm free
oh!
Put me in your place
I will never wear your 20th century pacemaker face yeah
You will never bleed
The spirit out of me
I'm flesh and blood, I'm real
I'm not your factory fantasy
No not me
I'm a piece of the sky
Well I'm the purple in the rainbow
My my my
I'm like wind in your hair
I'm like the rain on the sea
I'm free I'm free I'm free
yea!
Put me in your place
I will never wear your 20th century pacemaker face yeah
You will never bleed
The spirit out of me
NO!
I'm flesh and blood, I'm real
I'm not your factory fantasy
No not me
I'm a piece of the sky
Well I'm the purple in the rainbow
My my my
I'm like wind in your hair
I'm like rain on the sea
Well I'm free I'm free I'm free
I'm a piece of the sky
The purple in the rainbow
My my my
I'm like wind in your hair
I'm like the rain on the sea
Well I'm free I'm free I'm free

Wow, no comments on this one. The greatest title track ever to not actually make the album named after it. I can't imagine listening to this one and not shouting along with Johnette at the chorus. If this song doesn't make you feel free, or at least feel like you want to go running or something, there's something wrong with you!
Urban legend has it the song was originally supposed to be on Free but it got cut at the last minute by accident. It was then suggested that they put it as the B-side to God Is a Bullet. I doubt it's true, but this song joins the ranks of the Who's "The Kids Are All Right" and Elvis Costello's "Almost Blue" of being great tracks that were accidentally left off the album.
