"Son," she said, "have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy was nothing but a fool
While you were sitting home alone at age thirteen
Your real father was dyin'
Sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked"
Oh, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, oh, oh-oh
While she walks slowly across a young man's room
She said, "I'm ready for you"
I can't remember anything to this very day
Except the look, the look
Oh, you know where, now I can't see, I just stare
I, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive, yeah
Ooh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh yeah
"Is something wrong?" she said, of course there is
"You're still alive," she said, oh, and do I deserve to be?
Is that the question?
And if so, if so who answers? Who answers?
I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh, I'm still alive
Yeah, I, ooh, I'm still alive!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
There’s colors on the street
Blue, white, and blue
People shuffling their feet
People sleeping in their shoes
There’s a warning sign on the road ahead
There’s a lot of people saying we’d be better off dead
I don’t feel like Satan, but I am to them
So I try to forget it any way I can
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
There's a girl in the night
With a baby in her hand
There's an old street light
Next to a garbage can
Now she put the kid away and she’s gone to get a hit
She hates her life and what she’s done to it
There’s one more kid that’ll never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
I see a thousand points of light
For the American man
We need a kinder, gentler— nah, hell
We've got department stores and toilet paper
Styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, keeps hope alive
Got no fuel to burn, no fuel to burn
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
