Everybody wants to party all night long until the
Birds are singing

Than you're gonna be free
So 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
