wise up
i don’t wanna be that way
while the rich man talking
the poor folks working
each and every day
each and every day
the big man happy when the money come in
while the real people suffer just to feeding their kin
in every way
in every way

but in the cool cool cool cool evening
when everything is good good good good feelin
i follow that sound sound sound until i get some healing
and when it goes down down down
ooh that feelin
yeah

freedom
i could never be a slave
freedom
i could never make you a slave
freedom
just so we could live this way
see the mirror
i’m putting on a happy face
i tell ya
there’s got to be a better way
see the answer
when you gonna be the change
real love
never let i go astray
real love
teach me not to be that way

but in the cool cool cool cool evening
when everything is good good good good feelin
i follow that sound sound sound until i get some healing
and when it goes down down down
ooh that feelin

but in the cool cool cool cool evening
when everything is good good good good feelin
i follow this sound sound sound until i get some healing
and when it goes down down down
ooh that feelin
yeah
