You're Free - John Butler Trio

When it gets dark, I hear your call

You always come when no one’s around at all

Whispering your poison, burning my brain

Separating me from you, driving me insane

You always know, the right words to say

Sitting over my shoulder, trying to navigate

Get the hell out my mind

No I don’t got no time

You’re making it hard to think

You ain’t no trusty navigator

Just a hungry alligator

Trying to hold me down and make me sink

And I say you’re free and I want you to go

Yeah you’re free now

So get the hell out my door

Without me now

And all that’s come has been in spite of you

Those lies you spit, I fight 'em all so they don’t come true

And I found out everything I know

Has been one big fat old lie

And I ain’t just on no treadmill

I’ve been taken for a goddamn ride

I say you’re free and I want you to know

Yeah you’re free now, get the hell out my door

Yeah you’re free, best be going home

Yeah you’re free now

And alone I’m gonna roam without you now

Little man in red with the thorns on your head

Sitting on my shoulder

Trying to heavy my load as

I’m walking down the road

Like a fifty thousand pound boulder

Saying listen to me boy, nothing’s for free

It’s just fear around every corner
