If you beat on the rock you can hear the world ring
Wake up in the morning you don't feel a thing
Shadows gathering over your head

And it's just like the preacher man said
He said we were born to run through the grass
Why are you living your life behind bars

Why are you living your life in the past
Give yourself a reason to sing


That you were free born, you're free born
You're free born, you're free born
You're free born, you're free born

You're free born, you're free

Don't let them kill the wild animals inside of you


It's like in the movies when the rain comes down
And you take off your clothes and you scream at the clouds

Can you remember the moment of birth
When you slipped out onto the earth
You're a man, you're a woman, you're not some machine

Why do you always stare at the screen
Why do you always bow your head down
I know you used to be proud


When you were free born, you're free born
You're free born, you're free born

You're free born, you're free born
You're free born, you're free


Don't let them kill the wild animals inside of you
Don't let them kill the wild animals, kill the wild animals, kill the wild animals
Don't let them kill the wild animals inside of you


Look out the tiny window frame that sits behind your desk
Past the big computer screens and the jars of fountain pens

What are you doing in this prison with your psychopathic boss
With your brokenhearted mornings and your backstabbing friends


You were free born, you're free born
You're free born, you're free born
You're free born, you're free born

You're free born, you're free

Don't let them kill the wild animals inside of you

Don't let them kill the wild animals, kill the wild animals, kill the wild animals
Don't let them kill the wild animals inside of you
Don't let them kill the wild animals, kill the wild animals, kill the wild animals

Don't let them kill the wild animals inside of you
