Alice Cooper - Freedom Lyrics






We the people of the United States
In order to form a more perfect union
Stop pretending that you've never been bad You're never wrong and you've never been dirty You're such a saint, that ain't the way we see you You want to rule us with an iron hand You change the lyrics and become Big Brother This ain't Russia, you ain't my Dad or Mother (They never knew anyway)
'Cuz I never walk away from what I know is right
But I'm gonna turn my back on you
Freedom, we're gonna ring the bell
Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
Freedom, raise your fist and yell
Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
Freedom-ring
You're playing God from your ivory tower
Back off preacher, I don't care if it's Sunday
I ain't no angel, but I never felt better
We're a make-up metal generation
We're not as stupid as you want to make us
You better leave us man
'Cuz you sure can't take us
Nobody better tell you how to live your life
You gotta do it on your own
Freedom, we're gonna ring the bell
Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
Freedom, raise your fist and yell
Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
Freedom-ring
Cuz I never walk away from what I know is right
But I'm gonna turn my back on you
Freedom, we're gonna ring the bell
Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
Freedom, raise your fist and yell
Freedom

Alice Cooper Freedom Comments
  1. D.... M....

    This is probably the coolest thing ever:

    Metal music
    Alice Cooper
    Rambo playing a machine gun guitar (who would then go on to program a video game)
    Explosions

  2. T.... 7....

    BEST SONG 🤘🏼🤘🏼

  3. H.... D....

    "Freedom"
    Alice Cooper
    "Raise Your Fist and Yell" - 1987

    Lyrics:
    We the people of the United States
    In order to form a more perfect union

    Stop pretending that you've never been bad
    You're never wrong and you've never been dirty
    You're such a saint, that ain't the way we see you
    Ah, You want to rule us with an iron hand
    You change the lyrics and become Big Brother
    This ain't Russia, you ain't my Dad or Mother
    (They never knew anyway)
    'Cause I never walk away from what I know is right
    But I'm gonna turn my back on you

    Freedom, we're gonna ring the bell
    Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
    Freedom, raise your fist and yell
    Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
    Freedom ring

    Ah
    You're playing God from your ivory tower
    Back off preacher, I don't care if it's Sunday
    I ain't no angel, but I've never felt better
    We're a make-up metal generation
    We're not as stupid as you want to make us
    You better leave us, man
    'Cause you sure can't take us
    Oh nobody better tell you how to live your life
    Or you gotta do it on your own

    Freedom, we're gonna ring the bell
    Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
    Freedom, raise your fist and yell
    Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
    Freedom yeah

    Oh yeah
    'Cause I never walk away from what I know is right
    But I'm gonna turn my back on you
    Freedom, we're gonna ring the bell
    Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
    Freedom, raise your fist and yell
    Freedom
    Freedom, we're gonna ring the bell
    Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
    Freedom, raise your fist and yell
    Freedom
    Freedom, we're gonna ring that bell
    Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
    Freedom, come on, raise your fist and yell
    Freedom
    Come on, yell
    Come on, yell
    Freedom to rock, freedom to talk
    Freedom
    Make a fist
    Make a fist
    Make a fist
    Freedom
    And yell

  5. K.... G....

    Freedom!!!! The rocknroll anthem!!

  6. z.... 8....

    Alice copper' s music is perfect when it comes to glam metal

  7. d.... t....

    I saw this tour in Indy in November 1987. I always knew Alice could excel in metal, and he did just that with Kane Roberts and Ken Mary. This was his hardest rocking lineup ever. I wish this group would have stayed together for a couple more albums and tours.

  8. e.... n....

    Freedom for hong kong bitches

  9. C.... M....

    Never change Alice

  10. J.... V....

    So goddamn good

  11. V.... V....

    Freedom to rock. Freedom to talk.

  12. M.... D....

    If you don't like his guitar playing he would literally kick your ass!

  13. O.... S....

    Great,long live to the master Alice!

  14. D.... ....

    Steve Carrell needs to act like Alice Cooper in a filmed autobiography.

  15. C.... ....

    Rebellion. Freedom is only found in The Lord Jesus Christ, who died for our sins.

  16. g.... ....

    Such huge difference between AC in '87 and in '89.

  17. M.... W....

  20. B.... 2....

    Why does this have only 3.266.551 views, it´s a great song.

    B.... 2....

    This whole album is whole underrated while i believe its one of best metal albums in 80s

  21. J.... A....

    Solo guitar Rambo!!

  22. u.... ....

    The message is still relevant.

  23. S.... F....

    ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽Definitely an anthem!!!

  24. J.... C....

    One of the worst videos I've never seen. The song is good but the final result is horrible.

  25. P.... B....

    I once escaped school mid class and played this song immediatley

  26. k.... ....

    This period was so awesomely cool. Kane Roberts! wish he would come back to the band!

  27. J.... b....

    Kickass track from Alice Cooper. Rock on fans.

  28. S.... H....

    Alice would have been great at the PMRC hearings in the 80's

  29. R.... W....

    That muscle bound freak is not playing that guitar , sorry

  30. p.... ....

    Śpiewać to on nie potrafił ale show odstawiał.

  31. C.... F....

    My father saw this tour live. I was too young at the time. Wish I could have seen this tour.

  32. N.... N....

    Enough cheese to kill you in less than five minutes, with a heartattackabeetus.

    I honestly used to listen to this americap.

  33. T.... C....

    I went to see Alice Cooper at The Emerald Queen Casino, I was Blown Away. It was a phenomenally great show. About a year later,he came back a little before or after Xmas? That show was even better than the last one I went to. Alice puts on a really good show. Actually I seen him 3 times,he opened for Motley Crue at White River Amphitheatre. He blew Vince off the stage. I like Motley Crue too,but after a few songs Vince's vocals went to shit. I felt bad for Mick Mars,his back had to be killing him. He had to lean against the amps sometimes. He has anklosingspondlitis. Very very bad back problems.

  34. l.... ....

    Its 2019 & I'm looking up this gem to share on Facebook for the 4th of July! 🤘🏻😉❤🇺🇸🧨 Raise Your Fist And Yell!!!!

    l.... ....

    Happy 4th my friend!

  35. H.... ....

    How is there no live footage/recording of this song???

  36. F.... L....

    RYFAY is a strong album, something of an overlooked gem in Alice's back catalogue. It's also unique: the one and only time in his career Alice used anti-religious themes in his lyrics. "BACK OFF preacher I don't care if it's Sunday! I ain't no angel...but I never felt better!" If I ever got the chance to interview Alice (what a dream that would be) I would definitely ask him about what was, for him, a highly unusual creative choice. I wonder how he feels about it now?

    F.... L....

    What about Sister Sara from Dragontown?

    F.... L....

    @HeathenMetalhead221 Sister Sara is about a wicked nun who is punished for her sins. Yes, that is another example of an unusual Alice lyric, but it is not anti-religious like the Freedom lyric. Sister Sara is risqué by Alice's standards, but it still fits comfortably with his personal beliefs.

  37. u.... r....

    kane roberts was such a big bastard.... got one of his picks somewhere

  38. J.... W....

    Did anybody notice the high e string broke

  39. w.... n....

    Oh how I loved that album when it came out, and today, I still love it! =)

  40. �.... ....

    You want to rule us with an iron hand
    You change the lyrics and become Big Brother
    This ain't Russia, you ain't my Dad or Mother

    Hahaha, this is Capitalism, this is USA - but accuse to Soviet Russia. Double standard))

  41. B.... C....

    One of Alice's Hidden Gems

  42. S.... K....

    Nobody talked crap to this band

  43. C.... W....

    Coop At His Best !

  47. S.... H....

  48. L.... S....

    Como pido un guitarrista así 7u7❤😎🤘

  49. g.... ....

    Great song. And damn, Kane Roberts and Kip Winger were fucking jacked!!

  50. L.... A....

    Alice is way hotter than Kane, even if he's half his size. Just a girl's opinion.

  51. r.... t....

    TRUMP DID NOT SELL US OUT TO RUSSIA HE BEEN CLEARED #MAGA

    r.... t....

    This is Capitalism, all for sale

  52. C.... W....

    Dudes Crazey !

  53. C.... S....

    What an album Raise Your Fist And Yell was.He did a fantastic job of reinventing himself after the alcohol almost killed him.Who knows what might have happened with him had hair metal not come upon the scene at the time.Great album this was!

  54. A.... B....

    Rock on bro 🤘

  55. H.... T....

    So who drew first blood?...was it Kane Roberts, or Alice Cooper?

  56. a.... h....

    Klasse aufgemotzt!!

  57. V.... D....

    Oddly pertinent to today's continuing battle for free speech against moral tyrant preachers in ivory towers. Love it.

  58. D.... ....

    I love the Raise Your Fist And Yell album maybe the most metal sounding cd in Coopers library.

    D.... ....

    Brutal Planet is heavier

  59. S.... V....

    God bless Alice cooper and Merica

    S.... V....

    You think Alice supports trump? LOL Where have you been or are you just starting a rock adventure? Metal is pretty much anti-bullshit.

  60. T.... L....

    William wallace song

  61. N.... ....

    This song is so amazing. I was only 5-years-old when this song came out. Didn't really know about Alice Cooper at the time, at least not until I watched Friday The 13th Part 6 when I was 7 in 1989.

  62. N.... ....

    One of the greatest hard-rock records of all time, no doubt about it. Fear the Coop!

  63. d.... b....

    Freedom

  64. B.... S....

    Alice Cooper is a Christian?

    B.... S....

    yeah......

  65. M.... ....

    Alice Cooper the best shokrocker of all time

  66. F.... ....

    This AINT RUSSIA hahahah his best song so far and No more Mr nice guy which helped me in my personal life

  67. E.... H....

    Who came first... Ozzy or Alice Cooper? Who was better.. Rock fans who are fans of one or the other please inform me.. i was born in 81 so i want wisdom.. this will help me in a song im creating...

    E.... H....

    Alice by one year.He came in 1969 while ozzy in 1970

    E.... H....

    @NO BODY Alice is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.. i know Ozzy or Black Sabbath must be in also..

    E.... H....

    @EXPLISIT HIPHOP yeah they both are

    E.... H....

    NO BODY so nobody copied anyone..they are both dark minded rockers...right? Like Jason and Myers are similar but different

    E.... H....

    @EXPLISIT HIPHOP totally!

  68. c.... ....

    I have to admit it never occurred to me back in the 1970's that ALICE COOPER would write one of the best protest songs of the last 50 years, but this is it. Listen to the lyrics.

  69. M.... M....

    Where are Kane "Rambo" Roberts (guitar) and Ken Mary (drums)??

  70. B.... S....

    If it weren't so bad ass it would be totally gay, not there's anything wrong with that.

  71. A.... G....

    Is that really Kip Winger on bass? He's freaking ripped too.

    A.... G....

    That's not Kip. That's Steve Steele from Mesomorph who also did the RYFAYell tour.

  72. S.... S....

    Well he will a new guitar lol 😂 🎸

  73. e.... ....

    is the muscly guy a real guitarist or just props?

  74. T.... ....

    Nita Strauss is so overrated and bland compared to all the other Alice cooper guitarist especially rambo

  75. N.... �....

    Freedom is a great feeling

  76. G.... D....

    Great song

  77. S.... 7....

    If I had to choose 10 videos to sum up all the shades of "heavy metal" this would be in the list.

  78. F.... G....

    Didnt know manowar members played for alice cooper

  79. N.... V....

    I HEAR ON ALICE COOPER EVERY TIME I HEAR AT HIM NOW

  80. N.... V....
