Words and Music by Michael Koppelman
Free Man
I’m a free man
Well that’s what they say
I got no job, I got no pay
A free man but I’m hungry
My master in a new kind of slavery
I’m a free man
But I got no soul
If you ask the rich men in control
A free man but I got no right
To live with my family with heat and light
If money is the measure of society
A poor man’s got no right to even be
If money is the measure of society
A poor man’s got no right to even be
A free man is a warrior
I’m just one man
But my neighbor is too
And the neighbor of my neighbor
Is a fine man too
And three men when they organize
Become three thousand then free men rise
‘Cause battle is the language of history
A free man fights to keep all people free
Battle is the language of history
A free man fights to keep all people free
A free man is a warrior
