Why Can't We Be Free?

I never could be sure what made the world go round
Don’t talk of love because it’s nowhere to be found
If you know the reason, won’t you tell it to me please
Why can’t we be free?
And now you say that I am just a crazy fool
Well, maybe so, but if I am then so are you
But put it all behind you, I don’t need your sympathy
Why can’t we be free?
Tell me brother, are you willin'?
‘Cause don’t you know it’s only you
I ain’t got time to wonder how it comes around
You break your chains and then they try to put you down
Take a look around you and I know that you will see
Why we can’t be free?
Why we can’t be free?
Why can’t we be free?
