A war was raggin’ and friends were dying In a jungle called Vietnam Some of the leaders here at home Got blown to kingdom come The kids were rockin’ the cops were knockin’ We were doin’ what we could do It was the Sixties on Freedom Avenue
Battles were won and wars were lost It was something without an end Uncle Sam swore he would fight no more Unless he knew he could win And a President had to resign in shame A Vice President did to It was the Seventies on Freedom Avenue
Then the condos came with the tennis courts And they echoed the random shots A house where famous people once lived Turned into a parking lot And a growin’ number of homeless souls Kept wonderin’ what to do Here came the Eighties, ah the Eighties Then it was the Eighties on Freedom Avenue It was America
Ooo, ooo, ooo Freedom Avenue Ooo, ooo, ooo Freedom Avenue Freedom Avenue
Then a crack house stood where a tree once grew And people were afraid of sex Some of our kids were growing up a part of Generation X And nothing seemed to make much sense But sometimes the sky was blue It was the Nineties, oh the Nineties It was only the Nineties on Freedom Avenue Here in America, it was the Nineties Blink of an eye the Nineties Kiss them goodbye the Nineties On Freedom Avenue It was the turn of the century
Ooo, ooo, ooo Freedom Avenue Ooo, ooo, ooo Freedom Avenue Freedom Avenue
On an autumn morning 2001 Towers in a city fell When some crazy people full of hate Opened up the gates to hell They came tumblin’ down in New York town But they landed on me and you And every American And all free people all over the world On Freedom Avenue Here in America Trying to cope America Still full of hope America On Freedom Avenue It’s the new millenum
Ooo, ooo, ooo Freedom Avenue Ooo, ooo, ooo Freedom Avenue Freedom Avenue Freedom Avenue Freedom Avenue
On Freedom Avenue |
