*** Redemption Song ***

Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my head can be very strong
By the hand of my philosophy
We forward in this generation triumphantly

So won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
All I ever had
Was your redemption songs

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cos none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
You gotta fulfil the book

So won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
All I ever had
Was your redemption songs

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
Cos none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
You gotta fulfil the book

So won't you help to sing
These songs of freedom
All I ever had
Was your redemption songs
Yes all I ever had
All my life
Was your redemption songs
