Newton Faulkner - Get Free Lyrics






Never got no love from a government man
Heading down the stream till' the leather gives in
What I gotta do to get the money?
We ain't got the money, we ain't got enough

Heading down the stream till' the leather gives in
Help, my dreams are wearing thin
All I need's relief I need, I need some sympathy

Look at me
I just can't believe
What they've done to me
We can never be free
I just wanna be

Look at me
I just can't believe
What they've done to me
We can never be free
I just wanna be
I just wanna dream

All my life been waiting in
Water so deep now we've got to swim
Wonder will it ever end
How long, how long do we have a friend

Look at me
I just can't believe
What they've done to me
We can never be free
I just wanna be

Look at me
I just can't believe
What they've done to me
We can never be free
I just wanna be
I just wanna dream

Look at me
I just can't believe
What they've done to me
We can never be free
I just wanna be

Look at me
I just can't believe
What they've done to me
We can never be free
I just wanna be
I just wanna dream

  12. A.... ....

    Honestly, am I the only who understands this video as a man going crazy over the fact that he has no possibility to be really free from the world, human societies.
    It's literally in the lyrics.
    Or do you all never care about the lyrics, or you don't think people talk about real stuff and how really they feel in lyrics ?

    I ask because it's weird. All this people here who don't seem to get the major point of this song and video.
    You just freak out because he cut his dreadlocks...
    Seems very strange to me. Normal, and strange.

    Never got love from a government man
    Heading downstream till the levee gives in
    What can I do to get the money
    We ain't got the money, we ain't gettin' out

    Heading downstream till the levee gives in
    And my dreams are wearin' thin
    All I need's relief
    I need, I need some sympathy

    Look at me
    I just can't believe
    What they've done to me
    We could never get free
    I just wanna be,
    Look at me
    I just can't believe
    What they've done to me
    We could never get free
    I just wanna be,
    I just wanna dream

    All of my life been wadin' in
    Water so deep now we got to swim
    Wonder will it ever end
    How long, how long till we have a friend

    Look at me
    I just can't believe
    What they've done to me
    We could never get free
    I just wanna be,
    Look at me
    I just can't believe
    What they've done to me
    We could never get free
    I just wanna be
    I just wanna dream

    Look at me
    I just can't believe
    What they've done to me
    We could never get free
    I just wanna be,
    Look at me
    I just can't believe
    What they've done to me
    We could never get free
    I just wanna be
    I just wanna dream

  15. G.... P....

    This cover is so good, my favourite by far

  16. A.... L....

    Why is he cutting them?

  17. K.... ....

    Kinda prefer this over Major Lazer’s version

  18. D.... ....

    amazing musican, amazing music, amazing live performer!

  19. M.... S....

    Najlepszy cover Get Free w meskim wykonaniu.Porofesjonalny wykon.

  20. A.... N....

    Love this 😘😘😘😍😍😍

  21. C.... C....

    I like him in dreadlocks way better

  22. P.... C....

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo not the dreads

  23. H.... ....

    I've been listening to a cover of this song sang by Triggerfinger for years. I absolutely love it. And listening to this cover by this amazing artist and seeing what happens in this video made my eyes well up with tears. I know it's just hair, but it felt so sad...

  24. N.... A....

    I saw the song name secretly hoping it was a cover of major lazer. Great choice!

  25. V.... F....

    que buenas tijeras.

  26. F.... M....

    This is one of those artists I just can't listen to for too long lest my list of favorite songs becomes too long...

  27. N.... f....

    Omg at the end his hair is amazing

  28. A.... S....

    New life, making new memories. :)

  29. G.... P....

    I love this cover so much ❤️❤️

  30. L.... H....

    Kool   hair .We will  never  be free of  #MS  when many  are making billions  from  MS  drugs that  don't work or  cure  and the  MS  society UK  all  want more money  donated  yet have had  billions . Its  criminal  in MS  world.

  31. J.... T....

    So he would have only had one shot to get this right.

  32. E.... M....

    At least its a very clean mess

  33. S.... ....

    His wholesomeness and legitimacy is what I believe is missing from music.

  34. �.... �....

    сладко

  35. t.... g....

    amazing singer

  36. t.... g....

    newton faulkner is amazing

  37. O.... L....

    This is one of my favorite songs ever and I had no idea this legend had done it...incredible. Now I have to decide which one I prefer!!

  38. j.... ....

    Finally, someone who knows how to lip-sync in their music videos.

    j.... ....

    Cc "Zach a
    eq, #_Jil Slayton

    j.... ....

    i'm thinking he just sung properly for more authenticity and then mute that audio and placed his song on top of it

    j.... ....

    Yeah, I think so too. It's just I see other music videos where the singer is barely opening their mouth to the loud singing part of the song lol if that makes sense.

  39. C.... F....

    No pues si le hacia falta un corte a este carnal !! xoxo

    C.... F....

    Carlos Fa Rock fd,

  40. B.... B....

    I love you Newton but you should've mentioned that it's a cover.. at least !
    a very good one BTW ! =)

  41. C.... J....

    why didn't Britney do some dope shit like this when she cut her hair? lmfao

  42. d.... h....

    oooh marco that comment nearly made me vomit. of course we all prefer him as he wants to be but there is nothing wrong with a little harmless banter between fans. i really dont care how he looks his talent is what i love and the package it comes in is totally irrelevant. at least we are not attacking each other calling names and being ridiculous petty trolls like some other comments on here.

  43. B.... B....

    rip dreads

  44. Y.... M....

    he died

  45. A.... V....

    Most watched haircut on youtube.

    A.... V....

    😹😹😹 YE IKR ... LOL ...

  46. X.... R....

    I went to go see this legend!

  47. M.... ....

    Is this a cover of major lazer or the contrary ?

    M.... ....

    Major Lazer

  48. C.... G....

    This should be more known than what it already is, catchy song

  49. r.... ....

    Am I the only one who doesn't give a shit how long his hair is?

    r.... ....

    Nope! Neither does he! :-)

  50. K.... y....

    this bitch doesn't even mention that it's a cover

    K.... y....

    please stop

    K.... y....

    we already know that. still a tune regardless.

    K.... y....

    SydneyStreets everyone knows it's a cover, chill the fuk out

  51. M.... B....

    Sounds great! Sounds like Peter Gabriel influenced.

  52. a.... ....

    I melt when I hear his voice see that face and intensity. <3

  53. D.... T....

    1:45 - 1:49 Jesse Pinkman?

  54. D.... T....

  55. E.... T....

    Bad song :(

  56. x.... ....

  57. S.... C....

    how on earth is he so incredibly sexy oh my daysss

  58. D.... T....

    This video still pains me, those poor dreadlocks

  59. A.... G....

    I perfer this cover over the original. He's really good and everyone should hear him

  60. J.... B....

    NOT THE DREADLOCKS!!!!!!

  61. H.... H....

    This had me in tears.

  62. I.... !....

  66. R.... A....

    watched for the 50th time. Didn't mean to keep track, but it happened due to browser whachamacallit......Newton: You are amazing. NEW ENGLAND loves you. Come to MA.

  67. M.... ....

    I've had my locs for -- going on -- 11 years now, and this video terrifies me! Granted I'm only 58 seconds in, and dreading the ending (pun intended).

  68. v.... ....

    Noooooooo......don't cut the hair!!!! Did he really do that?????

  69. J.... T....

    Sideshow Bob turned into The Redknd

  70. J.... ....

    Outstanding.

  71. N.... V....

    AAAAAAGGHHH NO. DONT DO THAT TO YOUR DREADS. FUUUUCK

  72. M.... D....

    Nice try, but no one will EVER reach the level of the original. The original Get Free literally takes you to another dimension, is like giving your mind the most warm and comfortable hug. Everytime i hear it somehow i find my way. But hey, at least you did one minimum attempt to even compare to the original.

    M.... D....

    Okay, but that's like, your opinion man.

    M.... D....

    +Joshua Dematas yeah of course it is :) thank you for noticing it, you Captain Obvious

  73. E.... A....

    Damn this is the worst cover ever...

  74. C.... E....

    👍🏻👍🏻💕

  75. J.... H....

    This is a cover of Major Lazer but i think that This version is better

  76. e.... ....

    This is a cover? Why is there no info about it? Who did he cover?

    e.... ....

    major lazer

    e.... ....

    +Bianca Lake Thank you! :)

  77. P.... B....

    So beautiful, I can't stop listening and looking at this video

  78. M.... H....

    Okay Britney !! hehe

  79. A.... S....

    Imagine how nervous he must have been before he cut the first strand

  80. J.... M....

    this is heart breakin.. why is he cutting his dreadies?!?!?!?!):

  81. A.... S....

    NOOOOOOOOO!!.....bye bye dreds

  82. I.... E....

    The song's amazing.

    but, sweet jesus, this man with short hair is the best thing i've ever seen in my entire life

  83. C.... B....

    I just can't believe, the guy who singed doctor house's intro song got a VEVO channel, cool.

  84. N.... j....

    I very nearly cried when he first snipped. I was in complete disbelief. I convinced myself it was fake! But of course he still looks unbelievably and effortlessly cool :-)

  85. T.... I....

    I guess he was fed up of the little creepers living in his hair. :P

  86. c.... ....

    ALMOST as good as the Major Lazer version

    c.... ....

    codfish30 nope it's better if you have good taste.

  87. G.... S....

    Very nice attempt but original one is still better imo. The beats are just exceptional in the original version.

  88. J.... ....

    Call me mad but I swear down this melody is similar to family portrait by pink.

  89. J.... B....

    Bye hair

  90. K.... M....

    love the music vid... it was good to see symbol of hair as cuff or shacles of our life and need to break free. :)

  91. T.... F....

    "oops I forgot to hit record..." Can we do it again?

  92. E.... B....

    chill out man it's just a haircut!

    Love this cover.

  93. R.... T....

    Such a simple video but so powerful

  94. C.... T....

    That's so emotionally charged

  95. A.... B....

    Well... This just hits hard!!
    Amazing rework!!!

  96. J.... T....

    So much better than the Major Laser one, and even better when you see Newton perform this song live
