I woke up in a box today
Just like every other day
And I just don't know where I should be
When will I be free?
I grew up in the dark streets
Where voices come and voices go
Voice of men of the mountains
I woke up in a box today
You don't know your friends from your enemies
When will I be free?
Oh, when will I be free?
I wanna go out to the countryside
Find a little place for us
Find a little place for us
To run away and hide
I know the supervisor
His eyes are always red
He don't care if we live or die
He said, when will I be free?
Oh, when will I be free?
I wanna go out to the city of Rome
Oh, to New York City
Oh, like a girl in a robe
And my love says to me
Nothing's gonna change
Oh, where we were born
Is where we're gonna die
You see
Oh, when will I be free?
Oh, when will I be free?
When will I be free?
When will I be free?
When will I be free?
