There is freedom within, there is freedom without

But you’ll never see the end of the road while you’re traveling with me

Hey now, hey now, don’t dream it’s over

Hey now, hey now, when the world comes in

They come, they come to build a wall between us

We know they won’t win

Now I’m towing my car, there’s a hole in the roof

In the paper today, tales of war and of waste
