Golden Earring - Freedom Don't Last Forever lyrics

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 here with my self-pity Leave me alone With my lazy bones And a banana on the branch of my tree Can't take no more Lock the door Leave me here with my self-pity Leave me alone With my lazy bones 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 Freedom don't last forever
