More tough news on the late night TV
News lady tells me that it's cold outside
Man gets his carjacked, graveyard gets ransacked
Everybody knows that there ain't no place to hide
Late night drive-by, there's blood on the sidewalk
Rain's gonna wash out that stain someday
That stupid kid should have known this ain't no cakewalk
You can't just wear your bandana that way
Ain't that freedom for you
Ain't that freedom for you
Freedom American style
Hot car rollin' down an empty highway
The keys were in it man it serves the owner right
The youg girl attacked in the woods off the parkway
She should have known not to jog alone at night
Drugs rule downtown, gangs rule midtown
You're on your own when they both collide
I keep my doors locked with bars on my window
Got an alarm in my car, keep my kids inside
Ain't that freedom for you
Ain't that freedom for you
Freedom American style
More tough news on the late night TV
News lady tells me that it's cold outside
Man gets his carjacked, graveyard gets ransacked
Everybody knows that there ain't no place to hide
I keep my arms around whatever I've got
It's an alright world but you know I watch myself
I'm virtually free to do whatever I want
But I try to remember so is everybody else
Ain't that freedom for you
Ain't that freedom for you
Freedom American style
Ain't that freedom for you
Freedom American style
