Don't Need a Badge
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm tired of suckin' up
I'm tired of suckin' up and workin' for the man.
Keepin' people down 'cause the law book says I can.
Cuff my brothers and sisters, Oh, It's not the way to be.
But honey, those days are gone, 'cause baby, I am free.
Well, I don't need a badge to tell me wrong or right.
I don't need a badge to tell me day from night.
I don't need a badge 'cause my eyes can see.
I don't need a badge 'cause baby, I am free.
It's been a long, long time cleanin' up the streets.
Now papa's got a new gig, he's got a brand new beat.
It's called rock'n roll, and baby I hold the key.
This guitar here's my badge and music set me free.
Well, I don't need a badge to tell me wrong or right.
I don't need a badge to tell me day from night.
I don't need a badge 'cause my eyes can see.
I don't need a badge 'cause baby, I am free.
Well, I'm feelin' real fed up, so you'd better be aware.
I'm done with all your rules, 'cause, man, I ain't no square.
Music is my savoir with that you must agree.
This guitar here's my badge and music set me free.
I don't need a gun to make me feel strong.
I don't need a captain shootin' me down all day long.
I don't need your moustache. Don't you condescend to me.
I don't need nobody 'cause baby, I am free.
This guitar here's my badge.
Rock'n roll set me free.
This guitar here's my badge.
You better not try to take it from me
I don't need a gun to make me feel strong.
I don't need a captain shootin' me down all day long.
I don't need your moustache. Don't you condescend to me.
I don't need nobody 'cause baby, I am free.
Well I don't need nobody, baby, I am free.
