Freedom Don't Last Forever Lyrics - Golden Earring

From the Album: 

* Face it 

It don't look like a happy home 

For the monkey in the corner 

Behind the bars inside the cage 

The sadness makes me shiver 

Freedom don't last forever 

It's no way never near good taste 

And puts my good sense to the test 

Makes me wonder who's the beast 

In the eyes of the audience 

Freedom don't last forever 

And the way love burns 

Twists and turns and tears us all apart 

Let me tell you my old friend 

It can also break your heart! 

Can't take no more 

Lock the door 

Leave me with my self pity 

Leave me alone 

With my lazy bones 

And a banana on the branch of my tree 

(With a dream and a memory) 

Loneliness is a ghost 

Trapped in a room of silence 

Inside my head I hear the roar 

The roar of a crazy lion 

Freedom don't last forever
