Set us free

You been a pickin' on me, you been a hittin' on me

Well we got friends they all know the score
They're right here breakin' down the slaughterhouse door
You been a pickin' on me yeah, you're gonna set me free

You been a whippin' my back, don't let a man do that
Yeah all through history you wanna lash my back like that
Well now the reins are in the other hand
You lost your rights say the chief law man
You been a hittin' on me yeah, they're gonna set us free

Take a horse to water but he just won't drink
I know your game no matter what you think

Well I ain't a horse with no name

Oh take a horse to water but he just won't drink

The rope's untied don't take up the slack

Don't go a pickin' on me, they're gonna set me free

Well we got friends they all know the score
They're right here breakin' down the slaughterhouse door

Oh the sun's gonna shine on our backs they're gonna set us free yeah
They're gonna set us free, they're gonna set us free
