Johnny Cash - Redemption Song (feat. Joe Strummer) Lyrics
Old pirates, yes, they rob I;Sold I to the merchant ships,Minutes after they took IFrom the bottomless pit.But my hand was made strongBy the 'and of the Almighty.We forward in this generationTriumphantly.Won't you help to singThese songs of freedom? -'Cause all I ever have:Redemption songs;Redemption songs.Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;None but ourselves can free our minds.Have no fear for atomic energy,'Cause 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:We've got to fulfil de book.SoWon't you help to singThese songs of freedom? -'Cause all I ever have:Redemption songs;Redemption songs;Redemption songs.-/Guitar break/-Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;None but ourselves can free our mind.Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,'Cause none of them - a can - a stop - a the time.How long shall they kill our prophets,While we stand aside and look?Yes, some say it's just a part of it:We've got to fulfil de book.Won't you help to singDese songs of freedom? -'Cause all I ever had:Redemption songs -All I ever had:Redemption songs:These songs of freedom,Songs of freedom.
