Kinks, The - Got To Be Free Lyrics






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

    make peace and be free!!

  14. K.... t....

    We are right and they are wrong...how true how true, gotta be free.

    K.... t....

    that line embodies the 60s

  15. J.... R....

    I've been singing this song too long, and no closer than when I started.

  16. G.... ....

    This song should be used in the last episode of Mad Men

  17. t.... ....

    Play this for Obama and American people to warn American peeps that we will fight to be free, 'cause we want to be  free from Islam killers of innocent peeps.

    t.... ....

    Tom H blame the Muslims as they create harm to our nation as well as the land in which they reside in.

    @Ayyy Lmao you think? I thought i would at least make some sort of response.

    t.... ....

    Mohammed Hanif my response is this ...in england its not christians who beheaded lee rigby on a London street ,or ran 20 people over and killed a policeman , heres a fact for you ...in my city heroin is available on friday daytimes because all the dealers are at mosque , (the only benefit leicester gets from its muslim population is that one day a week smack becomes unavailable ) the charlie hebdo thing , the spanish train bomb..the coordinated sex attacks on new years eve , the muslim gangs converting large numbers in prison by force ..yeah im thinking that out of the 0.01 % that are radicals most of them live here in england ..and we quite frankly are sick of it , now you will get a lot of people saying " thats bullshit , muslims arent like that , thats a racist view of islam ," well those tolerant multicultural lovers are usually upper middle class and have a nice financial buffer from the very people they are protecting , so remember when these people say im trolling you etc and " he cant be serious " bear in mind these people dont come from a large muslim area like myself ,those people dont see the things i do ..,those people have no idea and arent worth listening to ...as for your initial comment yes im absolutely reasonable ..this is exactly why i dont want these nutcases representatives of islam killing and planning more murder on my streets..it is not an unreasonable request to want radical muslims gone from my country ...and as they hide amongst the moderates ,and the moderates dont seem to care either way then im afraid they are part of the problem ...islam should make an effort to police itself maybe or at least help ...

    t.... ....

    Incredible and sad that in four years you get nothing but attacks for stating plain truth and calling out the most insidious, tyrannical and intolerant group in world history. Good taate in music is somehow tied to extreme ignorance and hypocrisy regarding world events and history. When their pals the islamists get their way all this music will be banned and destroyed.

  18. M.... W....

    Damn shame The Kinks never got full recognition, they are one of the bests.

    M.... W....

    Yeah they did.

  19. J.... R....

    One of the best songs ever written. The Kinks, the most under rated band ever. Creative, innovative and way ahead of their time. Recorded and released 45 years ago. Simply amazing indeed...

    J.... R....

    James R. Burchett Sr. I like your beard

    J.... R....

    I would not completely agree with that, I’m only 15, so maybe I don’t know as much but there very recognized by many and even compared up there with the Beatles so in some ways there still very much appreciated my favorites include, death of a clown, Lola, Waterloo sunset, and obviously gotta be free, don’t forget apeman, I dunno maybe I’m wrong about the whole underrated thing.

    J.... R....

    James R Burchett Sr. The album Word of Mouth they put out in the 80's was great album

    J.... R....

    I don't get all the underrated comments on their songs. They were big and really influential in the 60s. Ray and Dave each still tour. Underrated by whom?

    J.... R....

    Look at what you said. "In the 60's". You dont hear about them anymore. The only british invasion bands people talk about are The Beatles, Stones, and The Who, alonside SINGLES by the animals and kinks. People only know the Animals "House of the Rising Sun" and the Kinks "You really Got Me" and maybe "Lola" and "Sunny Afternoon".

  20. W.... E....

    Nice music!!!!!!

  21. W.... E....

    Nice song!!!!!!!!!

    W.... E....

    Wieslaw Edward Loboda Hello in there!

  22. W.... E....

  23. W.... E....

    I have never expected that Kinks was so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    W.... E....

    W.... E....

    Truly under rated

  24. W.... E....
