 Old pirates, yes, they rob I;

Sold I to the merchant ships,

Minutes after they took I

= VERSE

From the bottomless pit.

 But my hand was made strong

By the 'and of the Almighty.

 We forward in this generation

triumphantly.

Won't you help to sing = PRE CHORUS

These songs of freedom? –

 'Cause all I ever have: = CHORUS

Redemption songs;

Redemption songs.

 Emancipate your selves from mental slavery;

 None but ourselves can free our minds.

 Have no fear for atomic energy,

 'Cause none of them can stop the time. = VERSE

 How long shall they kill our prophets,

 While we stand aside and look? Ooh!

 Some say it's just a part of it:

 We've got to fulfil de book.

Won't you help to sing = PRE CHORUS

These songs of freedom? –

 'Cause all I ever have:

= CHORUS

Redemption songs;

Redemption songs;

Redemption songs.

[Guitar break] = Em, C, D. x4 (SAME PATTERN AS CHORUS)|

 Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;

 None but ourselves can free our mind.

 Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,

 Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time. = LAST VERSE

 How long shall they kill our prophets,

 While we stand aside and look?

 Yes, some say it's just a part of it:

 We've got to fulfil de book.

Won't you help to sing | = PRE CHORUS

Dese songs of freedom? –

 'Cause all I ever had:

These songs of freedom,

Songs of freedom.
