Hush little baby don't you cry
Soon the sun is going to shine
We're going to be free like the birds and the bees
Running wild in the big country
Got to be free to do what I want
Walk if I want, talk if I want
Got to be free to say what I want
Make what I want and play what I want
As free as the birds up in the sky
As free as the bugs and the spiders and flies
I don't know how but I'm gonna try
I've just got to be free
And it won't be long 'cos we're right
And they are wrong
We've got to get out of this world somehow
We've got to be free, we've got to be free now
Got to be free to laugh when I want
Think what I want and cry if I like
Got to be free to do what I want
Say what I want and swear if I like
As free as the sun and the moon in the sky
As free as a flea or a proud butterfly
I don't know how but I'm gonna try
I've just got to be free
Yeah, we've got to get out of this world somehow
We've got to be free, we've got to be free now
Got to be free to do what I want
Walk if I want and talk if I want
Got to be free to say what I want
Make what I want and play what I want
I've got to be proud and stand up straight
And let people see I ain't nobody's slave
I've got to be free before it's too late
I've just got to be free
Got to be free to do what I want
Walk if I want, talk if I want

I Kinks sono un gruppo rock britannico formatosi a Londra nel 1963 e attivo fino al 1996. Considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti della British Invasion, hanno lasciato un'impronta indelebile sulla musica rock con il loro sound caratteristico che mescolava melodie pop orecchiabili a testi introspettivi e spesso satirici. La formazione originale comprendeva Ray Davies (voce, chitarra), Dave Davies (chitarra), Mick Avory (batteria) e Pete Quaife (basso). Quest'ultimo fu sostituito da John Dalton nel 1966 e poi definitivamente nel 1969. I Kinks hanno pubblicato una vasta discografia di album di successo, tra cui "Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society" (1969), "Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround" (1970) e "Sleepwalker" (1973). I loro brani più celebri includono "You Really Got Me", "All Day and All of the Night", "Waterloo Sunset", "Lola" e "Days". I Kinks sono stati inseriti nella Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nel 1990.
