| Free |
| Everything in life is free, free. |
| The air is free, clouds are free, |
| hills and dales are free, |
| free the rain and the mud... |
| Window-shopping is free, |
| looking at cars is free. |
| Hands off the bread and the cheese, |
| but help yourself to brackish water. |
| Freedom is a price on your head. |
| Slavery costs nothing. |
| Everything in life is free. |
