The world around
gotcha down
you got high blood pressure people pushing you around
and some wanna tell you how you should behave
cut your hair the right way, tell you what to say,
hang out with the right folks, become a fashion slave
But do you wanna feel free
but do you wanna feel freaky and free
but do you wanna feel free
do you wanna feel free, free, free, freaky and free
(chorus)
Take ya time
unwind ya mind
we all need a little soulshine
take your time
unwind your mind
we all need a little soulshine
9 to 5, people tryin' stay alive
hard livin' in the city
find a diamond in the sewer but the gas bills rise
but I gotta say to say what's it all mean
ya gotta take a loan
to pay the bill on the phone
educated, graduated but you can't get a job
But do you wanna feel free
but do you wanna feel freaky and free
but do you wanna feel free
do you wanna feel free, free, free, freaky and free
(chorus)
