Housemartins - Freedom Lyrics

Freedom
Housemartins

I used to think you understood
Taught me right and learnt me good
Made things simple for my brain
Told the truth and made it plain

But the implications I mistook
Until I found out whose side you took
And now with paper in my hand
I'm beginning to understand

So this is freedom - {They must be joking}
They must be joking - {If they think its true}
So this is freedom - [I doubt their truth}
So this is freedom - {For me and you}

From the front page news to the interviews
BRIts sink the reds and left the blues
BRThey pretend they're differing points of view
BRBut it's only different shades of blue
BR
BRBut the implications I mistook
BRUntil I found out whose side you took
BRAnd now with paper in my hand
BRI'm beginning to understand
BR
BRSo this is freedom - {They must be joking}
BRThey must be joking - {If they think its true}
BRSo this is freedom - [I doubt their truth}
BRSo this is freedom - {For me and you}
BR
BRSo this is freedom - {They must be joking}
BRThey must be joking - {If they think its true}
BRSo this is freedom - [I doubt their truth}
BRSo this is freedom - {For me and you}

BRThey locked us up once
BRSo they'll do it again

BRThey locked up my friends
BRNow they're coming for me
