the so-called free - john mellencamp lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i went to long island
to look at a diamond ring
it sparkled so brightly in the window
but to me it didn’t mean a thing
both of us are sailors
and our words were noise on wing
some lovers would buy it
and call it the wedding ring

[chorus]
and you recognized the danger
that you saw inside of me
so we both took a different road home
and said “h*llo” and “goodbye”
to the land of the so*called free

[verse 2]
now you got some change
janglin’ round in your purse
you used to call me a mean ol’ daddy
but what made me mad was worse
you were just as crazy
just as crazy as me
two monsters laid out naked don’t makе no family
[chorus]
and we both saw the danger
likе the skin that crossed our skinned up knees
we were both worthless as money
in the land of the so*called free

[verse 3]
relative of mine
took a gun to his head
life just is to boring
is what his little note said
a permanent solution
to a temporary thought
no heroes nowhere
no dreams could be caught

[chorus]
you recognize the danger
so no happiness, please
he was just getting even some
in the land of the so*called free

[verse 4]
there’s a song you can sing
when you’re feeling down
has a sweet little melody
take away a frown
it’s sort of repetitious
says something about bein’ free
seems to make sense to a lot of people
but it makes no sense to me
[chorus]
i recognize the danger
of all these false prophesies
just leanin’ on a cane in the corner
in the land of the so*called free
in the land of the so*called free
