Liberty!
Bring on your greasy wings and your forked tongue
and that crooked lullaby you've been singin'
promisin' me things I ain't never gonna see
but I'm hard on your heels you keep a' runnin from me
Red boy - White boy - Black boy
We all got the same blues
she's a fever that I can't break
she's a sharp chill that I just can't shake
now I am up on blocks and I am tied to the stake
and I'm dreamin' but I am still awake
Red boy - White boy - Black boy
We all got the same blues
Now damn this dream for tearin' me in two
for tyin' me down, settin' me free and keepin' me runnin'
the grip of the fears and the skin that keeps us apart
all the tears and the blood in the heart
know we cry and bleed the same
Red boy - White boy - Black boy
ain't it a shame that we all got the same colorblind blues...
she's a full moon - she's a brush fire
c'mon sweet saboteur cut straight through my wire
Red boy Black boy White boy
We all got the same blues
