They throwed him in jail and they kept him there hoping his memory'd die That the people forget how he once led and fought for justice in their lives But every day is born a man who hates what he can't understand Who thinks the answer is to kill, who thinks his actions are God's will CHORUS #2: And he thinks he's free, free, free, free Yes he thinks he's free, free, free, free Oh he thinks he's free, free, free, free BRIDGE:
