Free At Last Testo

You tell me it's not a thing about race Except maybe down in Dixie You tell me things have changed a lot And I'm just stuck in the sixties You tell me the poor are movin' Into the middle class Are you tellin' me they're free at last? I must have been confused when I walked the inner city Bombed out buildings must have been a set for a movie When I saw the all-black schools I must admit they had me fooled I could have sworn there was inequality Can't walk here, it's too black Can't walk there, way too white Can't go uptown, so they say Not alone, or at night, no way I just want to walk all over this world And I will, when we're all free at last You merge and downsize companies You send our jobs across the seas You cut the safety net and then You dump your waste on us and when You've got a couple minutes You build some jails and cut the schools And then you tell us we're free at last
