One Two One, two, three! Hey, hey! She got a shack Floating down the Pontchartrain With the water rolling in We gotta swim Before the levees start to crack Another day Another dollar down the drain You go to town No one's around 'Cause if you drown There ain't no hope for coming back It ain't no big thing if you lose your faith They kinda like to keep you in your place You never know what might be coming your way [Chorus] Oh everybody Devil take your money Money's got no hold on me Oh oh everybody's making love 'Cause love is free You go to church And pray to God for no more rain A Cadillac A paper sack Well hey there Jack You want some bourbon for the pain Hey tambourine Ain't no rhythm on the street With the voodoo What do you do When the radio just plays on anyway? Those crazy fingers in your jelly jar They'll jack your money While you sleep in you car They got the karma They ain't getting too far [Chorus] Everybody come together (Love is free) Everybody come together (Love is free) Everybody come together (Love is free) Everybody come together Yeah [Chorus: x2] Love is free Yeah, Love is free.
