You tell me what you're never gonna be And I'll show you what you just can't see If you want good living gotta grab it with your hands If you don't, then don't bother making no plans
Free being what you want to be Seeing what you want to see
Unchain your brain Unchain your brain Unchain your brain Unchain your brain
You won't get nothing if you got no wheels If you got no wheels you'll never know how it feels There's no reason for the things you said Don't get moving you'll pretty soon be dead, dead and forgotten
Free living the life of a king You can't have everything
Unchain your brain Unchain your brain Unchain your brain Unchain your brain
Everybody fighting for a living in the street One step back and you're out of the heat There's just one thing when you set yourself free You have a good time boy but watch out for me
Free being what you want to be Seeing what you want to see
Unchain your brain Unchain your brain Unchain your brain Unchain your brain
Unchain your brain Unchain your brain Unchain your brain Unchain your brain
Just let me hear some of that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock on music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
I have no kick against modern jazz Unless they try to play it too darn fast And change the beauty of the melody Until they sound just like a symphony
That's why I go for that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you want to dance with me If you want to dance with me took my loved one over cross the tracks So she can hear my man a wailin' sax I must admit they have a rockin' band Man, they were goin' like a hurricane
That's why I go for that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me Way down South they gave a jubilee The jokey folks they had a jamboree They're drinkin' homebrew from a water cup The folks dancin' got all shook up
And started playin' that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
Don't care to hear 'em play a tango I'm in the mood to dig a mambo It's way to early for a congo So keep a rockin' that piano
So I can hear some of that rock and roll music Any old way you choose it It's got a back beat, you can't lose it Any old time you use it It's gotta be rock and roll music If you wanna dance with me If you wanna dance with me
