Well, you know I ain't no dreamer, man
Well, I ain't no idealist
But the picture they painted in grade school, well
Looks like I've been duped with the rest
I wanna live
In a land that's truly free
I wanna live
In a far away country
I'm sick, I'm tired, I'm useless, yeah
But I ain't leaving yet
Not me, man, got no faith, got no money
I'm a grounded ex-patriot
I wanna live
In a land that's truly free
I wanna live
In a far away country
Yeah, it's a far away country, now
Wahh!

Well, this country gave us Little Richard
And it gave us Richard Speck
I saw John Lennon shot while watching Monday Night Football
What more could I expect?
Well, I wanna live
In a land that's truly free
I wanna live
In a far away country
