| Oh, pirates, yes, they rob I
|
| Put me on the merchant ships
|
| Then they tell me they took I
|
| >From the bottomless pit
|
| But my hand will be strong
|
| Even though I’m on my knees
|
| These following generations
|
| Will try to honor me
|
| CHORUS
|
| So won’t you help me sing
|
| This song of freedom
|
| All I ever had
|
| Redemption song, redemption song
|
| Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
|
| None but us can free our minds
|
| Have no fear for atomic energy
|
| 'Cause none of them can stop the times
|
| How long shall they kill our prophets
|
| While we stand aside and look
|
| Some say it’s just a part of it
|
| We’ve got to fulfill the book
|
| CHORUS
|
| Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
|
| None but us can free our minds
|
| We have no use for atomic energy
|
| 'Cause none of them can stop the times
|
| How long shall they kill our prophets
|
| While we stand aside and look
|
| Some say it’s just a part of it
|
| We’ve got to fulfill the book
|
| CHORUS |
