Freedom! '90 - Live from MTV Unplugged, 1996

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

You've got to give for what you take

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

You've got to give for what you take

Heaven knows I was just a young boy

Didn't know what I wanted to be

(Didn't know what I wanted to be)

I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy

And I guess it was enough for me

(guess it was enough for me)

To win the race? A prettier face!

Brand new clothes and a big fat place

On your rock and roll TV

(rock and roll TV)

But today the way I play the game

Has got to change, oh yeah

Now I'm gonna get myself happy

(Now I'm gonna get myself happy)

I think there's something you should know

(I think it's time I told you so)

There's something deep inside of me

(There's someone else I've got to be)

Take back your picture in a frame

(Take back your singing in the rain)

I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see, yeah

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me yea yea

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

You've gotta give for what you take

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

You've gotta give for what you take

Heaven knows we sure had some fun, boy

What a kick just a buddy and me

(What a kick just a buddy and me, yeah)

We had every big shot good-time band on the run, boy

We were living in a fantasy

(living in a fantasy)

We won the race

Got out of the place

I went back home got a brand new face

For the boys on MTV

(boys on MTV)

But today the way I play the game

Is not the same, oh yeah

Now I'm gonna get myself happy

(Now I'm gonna get myself happy)

I think there's something you should know

(I think it's time I stopped the show)

There's something deep inside of me

(There's someone I forgot to be)

Take back your picture in a frame

(Don't think that I'll be back again)

And I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes do not make the man

All we have to do now

Is take these lies and make them true somehow

All we have to see

Is that I don't belong to you

And you don't belong to me, yea yea

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

You've got to give for what you take

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

You've got to give for what you take

There's big fun coming up

Here we go...

Well it looks like the road to heaven

But it feels like the road to hell

When I knew which side my bread was buttered

I took the knife as well

Posing for another picture

Everybody's got to sell

But when you shake your ass

They notice fast

And some mistakes were built to last

That's what you get

That's what you get

That's what you get

That's what you get

That's what you get

For changing your mind

That's what you get for changing your mind

That's what you get (changing your mind)

That's what you get

That's what you get

That's what you get

And I just hope you understand

Sometimes the clothes

Do not make the man

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

You've got to give for what you take

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom

You've got to give for what you take

Freedom (I won't let you down)

Freedom (I will not give you up)

Freedom (Gotta have some faith in the sound)

You've gotta give for what you take

(It's the one good thing that I've got)

Freedom (I won't let you down)

Freedom (So please don't give me up)

Freedom

You've gotta give for what you take
