[Intro] [V1] I put my little thunder boots on And kick the chapel door Ooo-oo-oo-OOO! [Verse 1] [V1] They said hush little human Fold your wings in the drawer They said love needs permission They said kneel on the floor But my bones go rattling Rattling bright Like spoons in a pocket Making tunes in the night [V1] I sing wrong I sing wide I sing high on the side Ee-ya-oh! No chain can tune me No book can own me Takes more to turn the tide [Pre-Chorus] [V1] All the saints in the ceiling Make dust in my hair I sneeze out the fear And jump into air Ha! [Chorus] [V1] Freedom for the body Freedom for the mind Freedom for the lovers Left outside the line Equal by nature Equality agreed Equal in the rights And the right to be me [V1] Ooo-ah-eee-ah! Roll it in the throat rrights...rrights... Let the wild note float [Verse 2] [V1] They sold us little cages With velvet on the bars They named them old values And polished them like stars But girls can roar like engines And boys can bloom like spring And every quiet stranger Has a voice when they sing [V1] My voice goes sideways My voice bites the moon My voice makes bird-noises I sound like a buffoon Kya! Kya! I crack the rule I laugh the gloom I dance out of the room [Chorus] [V1] Freedom for the body Freedom for the mind Freedom for the lovers Left outside the line Equal by nature Equality agreed Equal in the rights And the right to be me ... NO MATTER WHAT I CHOOSE TO BE! [Bridge] [V1] No master in the sky-box No shame inside the skin No border round compassion No punishment for sin Just hands that help And mouths that tell The truth with crooked sound Just feet that stamp Just hearts that chant Until the walls fall down [Breakdown] [V1] Aaaaah-aaaah-aaaah! Long like a wolf on a wire Ee-ee-ee-ee-ooooh! Tiny spark, giant fire Ha! I am not obedient I am not your choir [Final Chorus] [V1] Freedom for the body Freedom for the mind Freedom for the lovers Left outside the line Equal by nature Equality agreed Equal in the rights And the right to be me [Outro] [V1] Rright to be free Right to be weird Right to be tender Right to appear Ey-ya-ya-ya-yah! I leave the old altar With bells in my teeth And sing my own poem of being ME!
