Can't wipe the wind-blown smile from across my face
It's just the old man in me
Washing his truck at the Sinclair station
In the land of the free
Can't wipe the wind-blown smile from across my face
It's just the old man in me
Washing his truck at the Sinclair station
In the land of the free
His mother Adeline's family came on a ship
Cut coal and planted a seed
Down in them drift mines of Pennsylvania
In the land of the free
[Chorus]
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
(I'm standing crying)
[Verse 2]
When I go out in my car, I don't think twice
But if you're the wrong color skin (I'm standing crying)
You grow up looking over both your shoulders
In the land of the free
We got more people locked up than the rest of the world
Right here in red, white and blue
Incarceration's become big business
It's harvest time out on the avenue
[Chorus]
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Move on there's nothing too see
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
[Bridge]
I'm standing crying, I'm standing crying
So how many daughters, tell me how many sons
Do we have to have to put in the ground before we just break down and face it
We got a problem with guns
In the land of the free
Down at the border, they're gonna put up a wall
Concrete and rebar steel beams (I'm standing crying)
High enough to keep all those filthy hands off of our hopes and our dreams (I'm standing crying)
People who just want the same things we do
In the land of the free
[Chorus]
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, in the land of the free
(I'm standing crying)
tidak bisa menghapus senyum tertiup angin dari seluruh wajahku
Hanya saja orang tua dalam diriku
Mencuci truknya di stasiun Sinclair
Di tanah bebas
Ibu keluarga Adeline ini Nya datang di kapal
Potong batubara dan menanam benih
Turun di dalamnya melayang tambang dari Pennsylvania
Di tanah bebas
[Paduan suara]
Tanah bebas, tanah bebas
Di tanah bebas
Tanah bebas, tanah bebas
Tanah bebas, tanah bebas
Di tanah bebas
(Aku berdiri menangis)
[Ayat 2]
Ketika saya pergi keluar di mobil saya, saya tidak berpikir dua kali
Tapi jika Anda kulit warna yang salah (aku berdiri menangis)
Anda tumbuh melihat dari atas kedua bahu Anda
Di tanah bebas
Kami punya lebih banyak orang dikurung dari sisa dunia
Di sini dalam warna merah, putih dan biru
bisnis penahanan ini menjadi besar
Saatnya panen pada jalan yang
[Paduan suara]
Tanah bebas, tanah bebas
Di tanah bebas
Tanah bebas, tanah bebas
Pindahkan tidak ada yang terlalu melihat
Tanah bebas, tanah bebas
Di tanah bebas
[Jembatan]
Aku berdiri menangis, aku berdiri menangis
Jadi berapa banyak anak-anak perempuan, memberitahu saya bagaimana banyak anak
Apakah kita harus harus dimasukkan ke dalam tanah sebelum kita hanya memecah dan menghadapinya
Kami punya masalah dengan senjata
Di tanah bebas
Turun di perbatasan, mereka akan memasang dinding
Beton dan rebar balok baja (aku berdiri menangis)
cukup tinggi untuk menjaga semua orang tangan kotor off dari harapan dan impian kami (aku berdiri menangis)
Orang yang hanya menginginkan hal yang sama kita lakukan
Di tanah bebas
[Paduan suara]
Tanah bebas, tanah bebas
Di tanah bebas
Tanah bebas, tanah bebas
Tanah bebas, tanah bebas
Di tanah bebas
Tanah bebas, tanah bebas
Tanah bebas, tanah bebas
Tanah bebas, tanah bebas
Tanah bebas, di tanah bebas
(Aku berdiri menangis)
