Album: Rock & Roll Music To The World - 1972 Composer: Alvin Lee Convention Prevention I'd like to reach out to you And learn just how do you do So we can still relate I'd like to open my mind So you can come in and find How we communicate There's a chemical reaction And it's causing an attraction From you to me I am not one for convention But I have a good intention For you from me Rain is falling and a thunderbolt is crashing through my head And there's people and pain all around me Someone is calling and electric sparks are everywhere I tread My life, it seems, is a sequence of dreams And there's people and pain all around me I'm going down in a black elevator 'Cause the big masturbator's got his eye on me I'm going down 'cause my brain is on fire And my soul is a liar 'cause I tried to be free Tried to be free, tried to be free... Freedom in your mind you can have when you dead Freedom in your life just depends on your head Freedom in your heart can alas never be 'Cause no one on this earth has been born to be free Born to be free, born to me free... All of my life I have tried to be free All of my life I have learned all I see All of my life I have searched for a clue All of my life I have tried to be true Tried to be true, tried to be true... |
