[Verse 1]
He said "I ain't never been to war
"So don't you call me 'Cap'n' no more
"It's time that I went by my Christian name"
So I said "Do you prefer to be 'Richard'
"Or maybe just plain old 'Dick'?"
It's better you never were a soldier and your aim is...

[Chorus]
Ain't we free?
Ain't we terrible and young?
Just like the spark in the east
Turns into the sun
It's no wonder we've been stung
By all these birds and bees
We may be wild and I'll be damned
But ain't we free?

[Verse 2]
Then a voice from behind us
Said "You fellas are the death of fun"
Little boys talkin' about shootin'
In between you, not one gun
Kristie Rae loved to give us lip
And we loved the way she talked
But her purdy little fist still hurt when the gloves came off
[Chorus]
Ain't we free?
Ain't we terrible and young?
Just like the spark in the east
Turns into the sun
It's no wonder we've been stung
By all these birds and bees
We may be wild and I'll be damned
But ain't we free?

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Ain't we free?
Ain't we terrible and young?
Just like the spark in the east
Turns into the sun
It's no wonder we've been stung
By all these birds and bees
We may be wild and I'll be damned
But ain't we free?

[Chorus]
Ain't we free?
Ain't we terrible and young?
Just like the spark in the east
Turns into the sun
It's no wonder we've been stung
By all these birds and bees
We may be wild and I'll be damned
We may be wild and I'll be damned
But ain't we free?
