don't need a bandaid for my bullet hole
don't need a brand name pharmaceutical
lend me a hand - stay with me in the cold
show me the plan - the way back to the beautiful
don't need an AK or an Abomb
i need you with me here now - need you to stay long
all i got's a melody - all i've got is a song
i can make it if you keep telling me to stay strong
i'm a soul inside a body
i'm not a commodity no oh
untie me i've gotta be let go
don't let em own me - don't let em use me
put a pen in my hands and not an uzi
i'm dreaming of the sweet sound of liberty
a railroad underground to deliver me
give me six strings not a six gun
can anybody fix me - no physicians
carry me on six wings to the sixth rung
on the sides of the north in the city of the bright ones
i'm a soul inside a body
i'm not a commodity no oh
untie me i've gotta be let go
take my hand
lead me out of the night
take my hand
lead me into the light
i'm a soul inside a body
i'm not a commodity no oh
untie me i've gotta be let go
