Grand Funk Railroad.

Want me to get on with it?

Get on with it!

One, two, Tape is rolling?

Okay … here we go … One, two, three, four …

Just let me take it, my mind can’t make it without …

I can’t take it, said I just can’t make it.

Just let me take it, my mind can’t make it without …

I can’t take it, so you best not take it.

I’ve been waitin' for such, such a long, long time,

To tell you all about these feelings of mine.

Something tells me there just has to be a better day,

And that’s why I came here to say …

Growing up, I was free in my childhood years,

And now they tell me I can wash away my tears.

These tears explain the way, it’s the way that I feel,

Because the freedom they give me ain’t real.

I want freedom, the kind that they promised me,

Just for livin' in this country.

I want the freedom, the kind that makes me feel strong,

But, let me tell you, something is wrong.
