Neil Young - Rockin' In The Free World Lyrics






There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People sleepin' in their shoes
But there's a warnin' sign
on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin'
we'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.

I see a woman in the night
With a baby in her hand
Under an old street light
Near 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
that will 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.

We got a thousand points of light
For the homeless man
We got a kinder, gentler,
Machine gun hand
We got department stores
and toilet paper
Got styrofoam boxes
for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people,
says keep hope alive
Got fuel to burn,
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.

    Congratulations on an excellent video collage. So many videos on Youtube are just stills and excuse to share music. You've made an effort to edit clips together that tell a story that fits the song. I used to do this back in the 80s with video8 tapes. Example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V85gk_lbvbU - rubbish quality because we didn't have computers! But then it seemed no-one ever made an effort until I found yours!

  10. D.... J....

    Feel the Bern, motherfuckers.

  23. B.... T....

    Am I the only one who became more pro-war after seeing this?

    I see a woman in the night
    With a baby in her hand
    Under an old street light
    Near 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
    that will never go to school
    Never get to fall in love,
    never get to be cool.

  58. g.... ....

    Neil is God.

  59. J.... P....

    "Drain the swamp"

  60. K.... H....

    Neil had a few great songs but all in all he was a clueless moron!

  61. B.... K....

    Wow, this song was so prescient. It was critiquing the situations the USA as in back during the original 90's HW Bush era, but it's still relevant now. If anything, more relevant now, because people are more aware of stuff these days instead of just blindly trusting the media, government, and corporations.

  62. H.... i....

    Neil Young, do you think this is amazing how Hashem put this song in your thoughts for you to write his song. Hashem's kingdom is free for everyone. Bless King Hashem forever. Love and peace for eternity.

  63. P.... P....

    Kinda messed up to attack Bush, he was a president for all Americans, including us working class folks, the same ones Obama spit on...

    P.... P....

    I forgot to say when you understand the lyrichs come back

    P.... P....

    Technolifter silly little twink, I lived through the period the lyrics were written about... The Reagan years were amazing...

  64. �.... �....

    we are fucked. there is no free world

  65. L.... P....

    the ironic thing is that despite his name, he is not young.

  66. C.... v....

    this so nice song

  67. C.... R....

    Wish ppl made more vids like these I like them alot

  68. c.... h....

    ✌️☮️ Peace & Love from Czech Republic ❤️ Cyril ✌️☮️

  69. J.... P....

    So I look up "official video" and I get this commie leftist thing. I love the message of this song; I love this song. What does the left have to do with freedom? It's just anti-right. No?

    J.... P....

    This song is an anti-America song, what do you mean?

  70. J.... H....

    Hehe! "Free World" my azz, taxation is theft.

    J.... H....

    Taxation to keep our roads, police, rescue and military is theft? Maybe you live in the wrong country eh?

  71. N.... C....

    I think this song is kind of rebuke to the Clash’s “Rock the Casbah”.I love that group, but I don’t think that accepting rock and roll is necessarily the fundamental condition that will bring freedom to the Arab world.

  72. T.... K....

    Freedom to Syria

  73. c.... ....

    And in the category of “Most Misunderstood by the Misinformed song in history!”

    c.... ....

    Why is it misunderstood?

  74. G.... W....

    This needs to be the anthem for our current times, with a psychopathic leader of sycophants in power.

  75. L.... K....

    Heard this at the Trump rally last night. Great song.

    L.... K....

    Young should sue Trump.

  76. J.... H....

    There's one more kid who will never go to school, never get to fall in love, never get to be cool.

    J.... H....

    The most powerful verse in the history of rock music.

    J.... H....

    Robert Spitfire No but it’s a great line. Neil’s poetry never disappoints.

    J.... H....

    Osama Bin Laden in the video???? Get the f outta here!!

    J.... H....

    Epic lyrics

  77. 8.... ....

    Fuck Republicans

  78. C.... B....

    Soon is Canada not Free Trudeau...fuck Canada hard....

  79. D.... G....

    Peace,Love and Freedom for the Humankind !!! Rock in a Free World !!! Cheers and Life On !!!

  80. R.... E....

    Neil your the man. I love this song and all your music. I grew up hearing you in the 1960s. All your music is magically gonna become legendary. You are a legend in my eyes.

    R.... E....

    Agreed, he never was a polished guitar player but that rough sound coupled with his song writing and choice of subjects is a Canadian legend.
    Proud to call Neil one of our own.
    Wonder if Gordon and Neil have ever gotten together?

  81. D.... F....

    Beginning. Old men love his name. Perverted ones. Mah hah hah hah.

    D.... F....

    BS post makes no sense.

  82. D.... F....

    My cousin said that thing at beginning.

  83. d.... d....

    it would appear that neil thinks osama bin laden is an ok guy.

  84. T.... ....

    This song gets me all pumped up. What a great tune. Truly a classic. Thanks Neil.

  85. C.... W....

    I listen to this song at least 10 times a day. ❤🎸💜 No one like Neil Young...
    I hope everyone that comes across this song understands the meaning of the song...

  86. K.... o....

    It sounds like Adelle's Someone Like You.

  87. �.... �....

    FCK TRMP !!!

  88. D.... G....

    Keep On Forever !!! Don't Stop !!! Peace,Love and Freedom for All The Humankind !!! Cheers and Life On !!!!

  89. C.... ....

    President dementia is a danger to the world.

  90. A.... ....

    Seriously, this song should have $500 million views!

  91. H.... ....

    The Challenge, Sit Still While Listening To This

  92. T.... C....

    Very intense. We are very blessed to be living in the USA 🇺🇸🤘🏼✌️

    T.... C....

  94. W.... K....

    Luv this record so much Neil young something else ,i wish we were all rocking in a free world

  95. L.... L....

    Let's give George Bush to ISIS.

  96. L.... L....

    La canción tiene un buen
    mensaje:  Mira a nuestra madre tierra
    sufriendo la sobre población de humanos. 
    ¡Ya parecemos gusanos! Cada humano produce millones de toneladas de
    dióxido de carbono que calienta el planeta con lo que la persona come y usa
    cosas como seria un carro.   Si se muere
    la abeja, ya no habrá comida.  Este años
    millones de humanos van a morir por sequias y hambre. ¿Usted mira que Dios los
    ayuda?  Dios nos dio una mente para que
    aprendiéramos; se ha llegado el momento que para salvar al planeta y la abeja,
    tenemos que planificar y parir un hijo per persona.  Si no lo hacemos, nos estamos creando nuestra
    extinción.  La religión no quiere hablar
    del tema de planificación médica (la efectiva) porque le quiere seguir  diciendo al no educado o ignorante, “ten los
    hijos que Dios te de” simplemente para cobrar por el bautismo u otros chistes
    religiosos. ¿Qué la religión ya no nos haga tan pendejos?  (Planificación religiosa es para mujeres que
    quieren parir como escopeta y pagar por 9 bautismos.  Por eso, el Vaticano tiene más de 300,000
    millones de dólares.  ¡Fíjate nomas!)

  97. L.... L....

    Did you know the church that gave us George Bush is doing well financially? The so called "Christian" George Bush, who had read, "you shall not lie; you shall not kill,
    at the sound of the trumpet he invaded Iraq for Mobil oil killing a million Muslims. Bush says, "So what! They weren't Christians." How can George Bush tolerate what injuries he caused our veterans who did not even need to go to that war? Gandhi said, "I don't like you "Christians. You are not like Christ." When have you seen religion fight for Universal Health Care, peace, against the National Rifle Association or try to stop one of all these wars? "Christians are "pro-life" but they sure like killing Indians and Muslims; black man, don't smile and show your teeth at night in Alabama; it can be dangerous with "them KKK Christians."

  98. R.... T....
