SoulJahm - Nobody Wants You To Be Free (acoustic version 1) by davidwilliam
Free download available from: http://soundcloud.com/davidwilliam/souljahm-nobody-wants-you-to
This song is from
Edinburgh days and was written around the same time as "Spitting Out The
Shit". It came up for SoulJahm in Budapest this summer and felt good
to sing and play. After a few attempts to get the right feel, we got
this 1st acoustic version together towards the end of our time there and
hope to take it further on the next version.
Parents tell you who you are - And there inside there starts a war - Teachers fear you with their rules
In the classroom they play the fool - Doctors make you sick not well - And lawyers got the law to sell...
Nobody wants you to be free
Nobody wants to let you see
We're mass produced to serve their goals
No value outside what we're told
Advertisers want your mind
Politics is for the blind
Look to the priests for the Divine
He says "you'll go to Heaven if you'll be mine"
We turn to science when all else fails
When you look more closely you're still in jail
Nobody wants you to be free
Nobody wants to let you see
We're mass produced to serve their goals
No value outside what we're told
Let it all go let it all go let it all
Let it all go let it all go let it all
Let it all go let it all go let it all
Let it all go let it all go
Go now!
I don't want to set you free
Maybe there's a chance you'll see
The rich and famous play out your sins
And magazines may help you in
Friends and lovers they hold you back
We keep each other on the track
Cos God forbid we might just crack
Nobody wants you to be free
Nobody wants to let you see
We're mass produced to serve their goals
No value outside what we're told
Down the factory lines
Human machines
We're programmed in
There's no way out
You can scream and shout
Rebel or obey
It's all the same
And who's to blame
If it's all a game
Then where am I
Placed in time
