So say what you want to say
And hear what you want to hear
Live how you want to live
If you want to be free
Than you're gonna be free

Chorus:
I can't make you stop and listen
That won't save you
And I can't believe
Everybody wants to party all night long until the
Birds are singing

So do what you want to do
(do what you want to do)
Be what you want to be
(be what you want to be)
Live how you want to live
If you want to be free
Than you're gonna be free
So say what you want to say
(say what you want to say)
And hear what you want to hear
(hear what you want to hear)
Live how you want to live
If you want to be free
You're gonna be free
If you want to be
Got to be
Have to be
Nothing but free
