The Price Of Freedom

little girl who'se gone astray
little boy takes the criminal way
decisions in life are hard today
freedom has a price to pay

wife is walkin' out the door
thats the price of freedom
ain't safe to walk in town no more
that's the price of freedom

it's never enough to have it all
the higher the climb the further the fall
scraping the ceiling because you're ten feet tall
slowly deflating when life's a ball

woman in red out on the boulevard
intoxicated, living hard
madman buys his tools of trade
unsafe human escapade

rules don't matter when you're free
and limits aren't in your reality
fantasy reigns until you're caught
you have to pay unless your freedom's bought
