Can't wipe the wind-blown smile from across my face. It's just the old man in me. Washing his truck at the Sinclair station. In the land of the free (Ooh). His mother Adeline's family came on a ship. Cut coal and planted a seed. Down in them drift mines of Pennsylvania. In the land of the free. Land of the free land of the free. In the land of the free. Land of the free land of the free. Land of the free land of the free. In the land of the free. (I'm standing crying). When I go out in my car I don't think twice. But if you're the wrong color skin. (I'm standing crying). You grow up looking over both your shoulders. In the land of the free. And we got more people locked up than the rest of the world. Right here in red white and blue. (I'm standing crying). Incarceration's become big business. It's harvest time out on the avenue. Land of the free land of the free. In the land of the free. Land of the free land of the free. Move on there's nothing to see. Land of the free land of the free. In the land of the free. Oh-oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh. I'm standing crying (Oh-oh-oh-oh). I'm standing crying (Oh-oh-oh-oh). So how many daughters tell me how many sons. Do we have to have to put in the ground. Before we just break down and face it. We got a problem with guns? (Oh-oh-oh-oh). In the land of the free. Down at the border they're gonna put up a wall. Concrete and Rebar Steel beams. (I'm standing crying). High enough to keep all those filthy hands off. Of our hopes and our dreams. (I'm standing crying). People who just want the same things we do. In the land of the free. Land of the free land of the free. In the land of the free. Land of the free land of the free. Land of the free land of the free. In the land of the free. Land of the free land of the free. Land of the free land of the free. Land of the free land of the free. In the land of the free. (I'm standing crying)
