[Verse 1]
Let there be darkness, let there be light
As the hawk, cripples the dove
Over and over, watch the dove die
As they rip out the floorboards above
Let there be gossip, let it be cruel
I'll still be home before dark
I've been through the wringer
And I know you have too
But their bite was much worse than their bark
[Chorus]
Oh, let freedom ring
Come on, let freedom ring
As the rivers rise up over the banks
And there's nowhere a poor boy can hide
[Verse 2]
Let there be markets, let 'em run wild
As the sisters of mercy just laugh
All the lost brothers can drink themselves blind
While good fortune breaks hard work in half
Let 'em have Mercedes, and a house at the beach
Sit by the pool and get high
Raise a cool bottle to the heavens above
While the creatures struggle in the tide
[Chorus]
And let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
As the rivers rise up over the banks
And there's nowhere a poor boy can hide
Oh, let freedom ring
Come on, let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
Let freedom ring
[Outro]
Let there be darkness, let there be light
As the hawk, cripples the dove
