Grand Funk Railroad Freedom Is For Children lyrics

I wrote the words of freedom
I've even sung the song
But freedom is for children
'Cause they don't understand what's wrong

The children are so very lucky
'Cause they're not old enough to know
Not old enough to realize
But they'll find out as they grow

The children are so very lucky
But on the other hand
Who's gonna' save the land?

The children are so very lucky
But man's invention is gonna be
The prevention of their life

This song is nearly over
And so's the world and the day

There's something missin'
But who will listen enough to do
What it will take?

Freedom is for children
Why can't it be for me?
Freedom is for children
Why can't it be for me?

Freedom is for children
Why can't it be for me?
Freedom is for children
Why can't it be for me?

Freedom is for children
Why can't it be for me?
