Born, delivered, given birth
Child, an orphan on this earth
The early days were not quite that
What they should have been
Born a poor child orphan
Was quite like a sin
School days harder, life was such a drag
Situation: underdog; got to play it back
Got to push it
Got to push it harder, harder
Got to push it
Got to push it harder, harder!
Land of the free, where has time gone?
Land of the dream, here we come.
Someone told us before, centuries gone
Hanging in the disco scene.
Night life all the time.
Better deal, top of all.
The whole world was just fine.
Life in the fast lane
We can well take over one hundred degrees.
But someone told us things have changed
Since Eighteen Sixty-Three
Land of the free, where has time gone?
Land of believe, what have we done?
Land of the dream, here we come
Someone told us before, centuries gone
