| I don’t want to hear your stories of old. |
| Don’t show me your golden chains
|
| For if there’s just one man in this whole wide land and he is living in pain.
|
| Oh, then freedom’s not your name
|
| You told me of a dream that I would surely like to see where each man could
|
| keep the wolves from his door
|
| Then I saw an old man without a dollar in his hand, saying, «You don’t need me
|
| anymore
|
| I guess you just don’t need me anymore.»
|
| I don’t want to hear your stories of old. |
| Don’t show me your golden chains
|
| For if there’s just one man in this whole wide land and he is living in pain.
|
| Oh, then freedom’s not your name
|
| We’ve got a lot of pride and that I can’t deny from those who bore us liberty
|
| But if freedom’s at the door and we let it wait some more
|
| Oh, I wonder how proud they are of me. |
| I wonder just how proud they are of me
|
| Go ahead and walk away. |
| Yeah, turn your back and say, «We'll show 'em whose got
|
| who on the run.»
|
| But, if we could talk with folks out there, we might get somewhere
|
| And maybe someday we could throw away these guns. |
| Someday we could throw away
|
| these guns
|
| I don’t want to hear your stories of old. |
| Don’t show me your golden chains
|
| For if there’s just one man in this whole wide land and he is living in pain.
|
| Oh, then freedom’s not your name
|
| If there’s just one man in this whole wide land and he is living in pain, oh,
|
| then freedom’s not your name |
