Freedom Never Cries

I took a flag to a pawn shop For a broken guitar I took a flag to a pawn shop How much is that guitar? I took a flag to a pawn shop I got me that guitar What's a flag in a pawn shop To me? I saw a man on the TV In a mask with a gun A man on the TV He had a ten-year old son I saw a man on the TV His son had a gun And he says, that he's coming For me I never loved the soldier Until there was a war Or thought about tomorrow 'Til my baby hit the floor I only talk to God When somebody's about to die I never cherished freedom Freedom never cries I wrote a song for a dead man To settle my soul A song for a dead man And now I'll never grow old I wrote a song for a dead man Now I'm out in the cold What's a song to a dead man To me? I never loved the soldier Until there was a war Or thought about tomorrow 'Til my baby hit the floor I only talk to God When somebody's about to die I never cherished freedom Freedom never cries You can cry for her, die for her Lay down your life for her Kiss and wave goodbye to her Anything at all You can cry for her, die for her Make up your mind to her Anything at all, oh, oh There's a baby on the doorstep Wailin' away There's a baby on the doorstep Longin' for the day There's a baby on the doorstep Who'd give his life to take A flag to a pawn shop A flag to a pawn shop May he forget Why he is cryin' some day
