CI won't let you down
BI will not give you up
FGotta have some faith in the Csound
It's the one good thing that I've got
I won't let you down
So please don't give me up
Because I would really, really love to stick around

GHeaven knows I was just a Fyoung boy
Didn't know what I wanted to Cbe   [F-C]   
I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me
To win the race? A prettier face!
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll TV
But today the way I play the game is not the same
No way
Think I'm gonna get myself happy

cI think there's something you should know
DisI think it's time I told you so
BThere's something deep inside of me
FThere's someone else I've got to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

CAll we have to dBo now
Is Ftake these lies and (C)make them true somehow

All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Freedom
You've gotta (B)give for what you Ctake
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take

GHeaven knows we sure had some Ffun boy
What a kick just a buddy and Cme  [F-C]   
We had every big shot good-time band on the run boy
We were living in a fantasy
We won the race
Got out of the place
I went back home got a brand new face
For the boys on MTV
But today the way I play the game has got to change
Oh yeah
Now I'm gonna get myself happy

CI think there's something you should know
DisI think it's time I stopped the show
BThere's something deep inside of me
FThere's someone I forgot to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Don't think that I'll be back again
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

CAll we have to Bdo now
Is Ftake these lies and (C)make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take

Well it clooks like the road to heaven
But it Disfeels like the road to hell
When I Bknew which side my bread was buttered
FI took the knife as well
Posing for another picture
Everybody's got to sell
But when you shake your ass
They notice fast
And some mistakes were built to last

cThat's what you get
DisI say that's what you get
BThat's what you get for Fchanging your mind

And after all this time
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes
Do not make the man

CAll we have to Bdo now
Is Ftake these lies and (C)make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take
Freedom
You've gotta give for what you take

[C, Bb, F, C fading out]

I'll hold on to my freedom
May not be what you want from me
Just the way it's got to be
Lose the face now
I've got to live
