I used to think you understood
Taught me right and learnt me good
Made things simple for my brain
Told the truth and made it plain
But the implications I mistook
Until I found out whose side you took
And now with paper in my hand
I'm beginning to understand

So this is freedom - {they must be joking}
They must be joking - {if they think it's true}
So this is freedom - [i doubt their truth}
So this is freedom - {for me and you}


From the front page news to the interviews
Its sink the reds and lift the blues
They pretend they're differing points of view
But it's only different shades of blue

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/h/housemartins/freedom_20066074.html ]
But the implications I mistook
Until I found out whose side you took
And now with paper in my hand
I'm beginning to understand


So this is freedom - {they must be joking}
They must be joking - {if they think it's true}
So this is freedom - [i doubt their truth}
So this is freedom - {for me and you}


[guitar solo]


So this is freedom - {they must be joking}
They must be joking - {if they think it's true}
So this is freedom - [i doubt their truth}
So this is freedom - {for me and you}


F.r.e.e.d.o.m.
They locked us up once
So they'll do it again


C.h.a.i.n.e.d.
They locked up my friends
Now they're coming for me
