Van Morrison - Born to Be Free Lyrics

Well, well, the birds in the trees
Know something we can't see
'Cause they know we were born to be free
Don't need the government cramping my style
Give them an inch, they take a mile
Take you in with a phony smile
Wouldn't you agree?

The new normal is not normal
It's no kind of normal at all
Everyone seems to have amnesia
Just trying to remember the Berlin Wall

Some kind of new old ideology
With new psychology
But it's not for the benefit of you and me
No, no, no

The new normal is not normal
It's no kind of normal at all
Everyone seems to have amnesia
Trying to remember the Berlin Wall

It's some kind of new old ideology
Running tandem with the weary
Kinda psychology
But it's not for the benefit of you and me

'Cause we (We) , we were born to be free
'Cause we were born to be free
'Cause we were born to be free (To be free)
