There's colors on the street
 Red, white and blue
 People shufflin' their feet
 People sleepin' in their shoes
 But there's a warnin' sign
 on the road ahead
 There's a lot of people sayin'
 we'd be better off dead
 Don't feel like Satan,
 but I am to them
 So I try to forget it,
 any way I can.

 Keep on rockin' in the free world,
 Keep on rockin' in the free world
 Keep on rockin' in the free world,
 Keep on rockin' in the free world.

 I see a woman in the night
 With a baby in her hand
 Under an old street light
 Near a garbage can
 Now she puts the kid away,
 and she's gone to get a hit
 She hates her life,
 and what she's done to it
 There's one more kid
 that will never go to school
 Never get to fall in love,
 never get to be cool.

 Keep on rockin' in the free world,
 Keep on rockin' in the free world
 Keep on rockin' in the free world,
 Keep on rockin' in the free world.

 We got a thousand points of light
 For the homeless man
 We got a kinder, gentler,
 Machine gun hand
 We got department stores
 and toilet paper
 Got styrofoam boxes
 for the ozone layer
 Got a man of the people,
 says keep hope alive
 Got fuel to burn,
 got roads to drive.

 Keep on rockin' in the free world,
 Keep on rockin' in the free world
 Keep on rockin' in the free world,
 Keep on rockin' in the free world.
