No, don't put me in a box.

I'm not just like a puzzle piece

I might not fit, I will not bend

No, I'm not the color red

I'm not the girl next door

I clinch my fists, I might stay home instead

Sick and tired of making faces

Nothing more than second places

I'm coming 'round the bend

But I am crawling slowly

When everyone around is rising

Raise your glass to compromising

Tell me now is this what we call freedom

This is freedom, this is freedom

So give me freedom

Give me freedom

Push, your pushing me to run

Stereotype just thrown out to destruction

Don't let it pass you by

No, I do not have a gun

And I'm not my neighborhood

I have a name, but it's misunderstood

Look around at all the races

No one cares and no one faces

Don't have the time

To sit and listen to the hungry

You say one is just like the other

So bat your eyes and run for cover

Tell me now is this what we call freedom

This is freedom

So give me freedom

So give me freedom

Give me freedom

Do we have ourselves to blame?

For all these bills to pay

We're dying out here

We're dying out

So open your eyes to see

It's not just make believe

So we'll keep trying

So we'll keep trying

For freedom, this is freedom

So Look around at all the races

No one cares and no one faces

Don't have the time

To sit and listen to the hungry

You say one is just like the other

You bat your eyes and run for cover

Tell me now is this what we call freedom

So tell me now is this what we call freedom

Tell me now is this what we call freedom

So tell me now is this what we call freedom

Tell me now is this what we call freedom

So tell me now is this what we call freedom

Tell me now is this what we call freedom

So tell me now is this what we call freedom

Tell me now is this what we call freedom

Freedom

Freed
