About Got To Be Free

"Got to Be Free" is a song written by Ray Davies and performed by British rock band the Kinks. It was released on their 1970 LP Lola versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One, which included the Top 10 hit song "Lola". "Got to Be Free" plays a key role in the concept album, as the album borrows its first verse as an introduction, and closes with the full song. The song was also used in the first of the BBC's Play for Today series The Long Distance Piano Player (1970), which featured the song's own writer, Ray Davies, in the lead role.  more »

Hush little baby don't you cry 
Soon the sun is going to shine 
We're going to be free like the birds and the bees 
Running wild in the big country 
Got to be free to do what I want 
Walk if I want, talk if I want 
Got to be free to say what I want 
Make what I want and play what I want 
As free as the birds up in the sky 
As free as the bugs and the spiders and flies 
I don't know how but I'm gonna try 
I've just got to be free 
And it won't be long 'cause we're right 
And they are wrong 
We've got to get out of this world somehow 
We've got to be free, we've got to be free now 
Got to be free to laugh when I want 
Think what I want and cry if I like 
Got to be free to do what I want 
Say what I want and swear if I like 
As free as the sun and the moon in the sky 
As free as a flea or a proud butterfly 
I don't know how but I'm gonna try 
I've just got to be free 
Yeah, we've got to get out of this world somehow 
We've got to be free, we've got to be free now 
Got to be free to do what I want 
Walk if I want and talk if I want 
Got to be free to say what I want 
Make what I want and play what I want 
I've got to be proud and stand up straight 
And let people see I ain't nobody's slave 
I've got to be free before it's too late 
I've just got to be free 
Got to be free to do what I want 
Walk if I want, talk if I want

Original members Pete Quaife (bass guitar, vocals) and Mick Avory (drums and percussion) were replaced by John Dalton in 1969 and Bob Henrit in 1984, respectively. Dalton was in turn replaced by Jim Rodford in 1978. Keyboardist Nicky Hopkins accomp… more »
