lyrics

You see the glimmer in my eyes
How they shimmer like the stars
I'm a fortunate, blue eyed son
I was born and raised on Mars
I come from a land with no envy
A place without cars
The only place that you'll find me is locked behind bars

Black lungs and a broken heart
I won't be here for long
Black lungs and a broken heart
Won't see me cry alone
Black lungs and a broken heart
Wait til it turns to stone
Black lungs and a broken heart
I won't be here for long

You can tell from the glimmer in my eyes
I'm the one and only Freedom Man
I come from a place of no envy
I do what I can
The thirteen hour night
Gave me such a fright
So I jet on down here
To set the record clear

Black lungs and a broken heart
I won't be here for long
Black lungs and a broken heart
Won't see me cry alone
Black lungs and a broken heart
Wait til it turns to stone
Black lungs and a broken heart
I won't be here for long

(Freedom, man, it's here)
This is a special news bulletin
Humankind is reeling today
After a flying saucer crash landed on Earth
Thus confirming the existence of alien life
(Freedom, man, it's here)
Within the vicinity of the crash
Witnesses reported experiencing mass euphoria
And large groups gathered to listen to live music
(Freedom, man, it's here)
From the steaming wreckage emerged a man with the wings of a bird
He didn't have time to say much
As he passed out shortly due to the high oxygen content of our atmosphere
(Freedom, man, it's here)
All he had time to say was...
"I came to speak the truth
Freedom to the youth."

Black lungs and a broken heart
I won't be here for long
Black lungs and a broken heart
Won't see me cry alone
Black lungs and a broken heart
Wait til it turns to stone
Black lungs and a broken heart
I won't be here for long

Black lungs and a broken heart
Set fire to the devil's eyes
Black lungs and a broken heart
To me it's no surprise
Black lungs and a broken heart
Burned a good one to fade away
Black lungs and a broken heart
Now I hurry to say what I say
