Ferocious Dog – Freethinker lyrics

[Verse 1]
How can you sing a love song if you've never been in love?
Do you still hold faith now you've seen us from above?
And writers win our history and fiction sells the truth,
You look into my red eyes now give me back my tooth

[Chorus]
Cos I'm a free thinking man, I don't need no guiding hand
Cos I'm a free thinking man, I don't care if I am damned
I am damned

[Verse 2]
I won't take it as it comes no more
I'll pull against your open door
I look around each corner you know it's not a sin
Don't tell me what to think no more cos I'll question everything

[Chorus]
I'm a free thinking man, I don't need no guiding hand
Cos I'm a free thinking man, I don't care if I am damned
I am damned

[Verse 3]
The centre of the universe, and celebrated births
The infidels and burnings were falling from the earth
The mighty, the chosen, the golden gleaming crowns
The guilty pay the price and the innocent will drown

[Chorus]
Cos I'm a free thinking man, I don't need no guiding hand
Cos I'm a free thinking man, I don't care if I am damned
I am damned

[Break]
3/4 time, slow:
A million years of evolution, we're no closer to solution
Face the facts with no delusion, take away all this confusion
So we live with earth pollution, that's political contribution
Choice removed by mass dilution, leaves a poor substitution
War for peace now that's illusion, delivered with perfect elocution
4/4 time, speeding up:
The power of the institution, twinned with religious persecution
In the face of destitution, there is only one solution
Revolution
Revolution
