Bobby O freedom is only a word

Condemned to be your lover
Destined to be your other
So disappointed, let down and defeated
And all the things I say
I say them as I pray
To make you believe me
Freedom is only a word
A word that's often said
But so few believe in
Freedom is only a word
A word so often said
But so few believe in
Freedom is only a word
Naked and disrespected
Defenseless and rejected
Unaided, raw neglected
Strong but unprotected
Theoretically connected
A social contract that has ended
And all the things I say
I say them as I pray
To make you believe me
Freedom is only a word
A word that's often said
But so few believe in
Freedom is only a word
A word so often pled
But so few believe in
Freedom is only a word
There are constitutions
Freedom is only a word
There are institutions
Freedom is only a word
So many organizations
Freedom is only a word
It's only a word
Freedom is only a word
It's only a word that so few really believe in
Freedom is only a word
A word that's often said
But so few believe in
Freedom is only a word
A word so often said
But so few believe in
Freedom is only a word
