Can't wipe the windblown smile
From across my face
It's just the old man and me
Washing his truck at the Sinclair station
In the land of the free
His mother Adeline's family came on a ship
Cut coal and planted a seed
Down in them drift mines of Pennsylvania
In the land of the free
Land of the free
Land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free
Land of the free
Land of the free
Land of the free
Land of the free
In the land of the free
I'm standing, crying
When I go out in my car
I don't think twice
But if you're the wrong color skin
I'm standing, crying
You grow up looking over both your shoulders
In the land of the free
We got more people locked up
Than the rest of the world
Right here in red, white and blue
I'm standing, crying
Incarceration's become big business
It's harvest time out on the avenues
Land of the free
Land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free
Land of the free
Move on, there's nothing to see
Land of the free
Land of the free
Land of the free
In the land of the free
I'm standing, crying
I'm standing, crying
So, how many daughters?
Tell me how many sons?
Do we have to put in the ground
Before we just break down and face it?
We've got a problem with guns
In the land of the free
And down at the border
They're gonna put up a wall
With concrete and rebar steel beams
I'm standing, crying
High enough to keep all those filthy hands off
Of our hopes and our dreams
I'm standing, crying
People who just want the same things we do
In the land of the free
Land of the free
Land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free
Land of the free
Land of the free
Land of the free
In the land of the free
