Afternoon Matinee: Protest - People Got To Be Free

Performed by The Rascals

All the world over, so easy to see

People everywhere just wanna be free

Listen, please listen, that's the way it should be

There's peace in the valley, people got to be free

You should see what a lovely, lovely world this'd be

Everyone learned to live together, ah hah

Seems to me such an itty bitty thing should be

Why can't you and me learn to love one another?

All the world over, so easy to see

People everywhere just wanna be free (wanna be free)

I can't understand it, so simple to me

People everywhere just got to be free

If there's a man who is down and needs a helpin' hand

All it takes is you to understand and to pull him through, ah hah

Seems to me we got to solve it individually, ah ah

And I'll do unto you what you do to me

Said, no

Shout it from the mountain on out to the sea

No two ways about it, people have to be free (they gotta be free)

Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be

Natural situation for a man to be free

Get right on board now, huh, huh

Oh, what a feelin's just come over me

Love can move a mountain, make a blind man see

Everybody sing it now come on let's go see

Peace in the valley now, we all can be free

See that train over there?

Now that's the train of freedom

It's about to 'rrive any minute, now

You know it's been'a long, long overdue

Look out 'cause it's a'comin' right on through

Ha, ha, yeah
