‘Rockin’ In The Freeworld’ [3:58] (Neil Young), The Alarm
Lead Vocals:Mike Peters
Lyrics
:
There's colours on the streets Red, white and blue People shuffling their feet People sleeping in their shoes There's a warning sign on the road ahead There's a lot of people saying they'd be "better off dead' Don't feel like Satan but I am to them So I try to forget it any way I can Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world There's a woman of the night Got a baby in her hand Near an old street light Down by a garbage can Now she puts the kid away and she's gone to get a hit She hates her life and what she�s done to it There's one more kid who'll never go to school Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' There's a thousand points of light for the homeless man There's a kinder, gentler, machine gun hand Got department stores, toilet paper Styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer There's a man of the people Saying� �Keep hope alive" I've got fuel to burn I've got roads to drive Keep on rockin� in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world

Mike Peters Notes
:A song that we just had to record. I think we all wished that we had written this when we first heard it. When Neil Young got up on stage to play with us in New York it was one of those moments we will never forget. This was one of the first things that we recorded in the studio because we knew it so well, I think this version was the second take, it was a case of one run through to get the sound right and then record it and that was that. I’m looking forward to playing it on the “RAW” tour.
