Philip Bailey
Freedom of Choice
You gave your vote to pass the law
Do you want to take it back?
All the bad news we read about today
Is it because the system's on the rack?
And can you make your dreams straight reality?
Can you dig the prime interest rates?
Do you think you'd meet hospitality
If you went to the White House by mistake?
You got the freedom of choice
You got to hold on and speak with your voice
You got the freedom of choice
You got to hold on and speak with your voice
How long I wonder
People have to wait on equal opportunity
Instead of gettin' better
Rain is gettin' wetter to a fair reality
Talkin' 'bout employment lines, jammed up behind
A smiling face with promises
Will all your hope vanish in the soap
'Cause you've been washed super clean with jive?
You got the freedom of choice
You got to hold on and speak with your voice
You got the freedom of choice
You got to hold on and speak with your voice
Freedom, freedom
Freedom, freedom
There will be brighter days
There will be lighter days
There will be brighter days, lighter days, brighter days, lighter days now
