Lyrics

There is free dom with in;

there is free dom with out.

Try to catch the del uge in a pa cion per your (B)cup.

no proof.

There’s a bat tle a head;

man y bat tles are lost, but you’ll nev er see the end of the the road while you’re (B)trav ’ling with me.

Hey now, hey now, don’t (G)dream it’s (Em)o ver, hey now, hey now, when the (G)world comes (Em)in.

They come, they come

to build a wall be tween us.

We know they won’t win.

Now I’m tow ing my car;

there’s a hole in the roof.

My pos ses sions are ing me the door cion per your (B)heart.

no proof.

In the pa per to day,

tales of war and of waste, but you turn er right the end of the the road while you’re (B)page.

’ling with me.

Hey now, hey now, don’t (G)dream it’s (Em)o ver, hey now, hey now, when the (G)world comes (Em)in.

They come, they come

to build a wall be tween us.

We know they won’t win.

get to know the feel ing of lib er a tion (B)and re lease.

Hey now, hey now, don’t (G)dream it’s (Em)o ver, hey now, hey now, when the (G)world comes (Em)in.

They come, they come

to build a wall be tween us.

We know they won’t win.

Don’t let them win.

(Hey now, hey now.)

Don’t let them win.

(Hey now, hey now.)
