Bringing together the activism of the late 60s/early 70s with the dissent of today.

I WANT FREEDOM

Just let me take it, my mind can't make it without ...
I can't take it, said I just can't make it.
Just let me take it, my mind can't make it without ...
I can't take it, so you best not take it.

I've been waitin' for such, such a long, long time
To tell you all about these feelings of mine
Something tells me there just has to be a better day
And that's why I came here to say ...

Just let me take it, my mind can't make it without ...
I can't take it, said I just can't make it.
Just let me take it, my mind can't make it without ...
I can't take it, so you best not take it.

Growing up, I was free in my childhood years
And now they tell me I can wash away my tears
These tears explain the way, it's the way that I feel
Because the freedom they give me is real.

Just let me take it, my mind can't make it without ...
I can't take it, said I just can't make it.
Just let me take it, my mind can't make it without ...
I can't take it, so you best not take it.

Just let me take it, my mind can't make it without ...
I can't take it, said I just can't make it.
Just let me take it, my mind can't make it without ...
I can't take it, so you best not take it.

I want freedom, the kind that they promised me
Just for livin' in this country.
I want the freedom, the kind that makes me feel strong
But, let me tell you, something is wrong.

~ Lyrics by Mark Farner
Album: Grand Funk Railroad "Survival" [1971]

"The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become instruments of tyranny at home." ~ James Madison

This song deserves a just a blank screen for the video. It is self explanatory. Great song!



[alapoet]

@sixstringbluesify That would be known as "listening to the album."

YouTube is for visuals.

[Gawnbonkers]

Good song....video sucks. You suck for using someone else's art to promote your political BS. Did you even listen to the lyrics, maybe try to read them! Do a freaking google search.

Find them?

Now what the hell do those words have to do with the political BS in that video? You should be ashamed.

[alapoet]

@Gawnbonkers just because you have a problem understanding the lyrics doesn't mean I can't make a video, moron. Go home and blow Glenn Beck, like usual.

[ajscifres]

Love the music, get the politics out of this. Dodged bullets for my country, disagree with the government at times, but let the music speak for itself.

[alapoet]

@ajscifres the music has political lyrics, moron.

[alapoet]

@spareaxe because Grand Funk was a protest band, moron.

Next time, learn your musical history before making an idiot of yourself by showing your ignorance.

[melonie58]

[Kamano1955]

Love the song but hate the left extremism. Wonder how this guy likes Obummer. You can substitute the current administration for Bush's admin. in every frame.

[Shwaggetyshfifty]

I want freedom, ergo, I'm voting for Ron Paul. End American imperialism. decriminalize drugs, etc., ya know, all of that freedom stuff.

[Hopkins1148]

I wont have any more of it. Goodbye.
