Love’s Song of Freedom & What You’re Gonna Do About Me
by Terry Callier
Love Theme from Spartacus
Can it be? Do you hear?
A new freedom song is ringing
No more dark, no more fear
There’s a new day that it’s bringing
Something simple is the key
Only love will set us free
It’s so far, it’s so near
Almost close, almost here
What About Me?
What you gonna do about me?
Oh, what you gonna do about me
Oh, what you gonna do about me
You poisoned our sweet water
And you chopped down our green trees.
The food they sell to children
Is the cause of their disease.
My world is slowly meltin’ down
And the air’s not fit to breathe
Those of us who care enough
Are strugglin’ to be free.
Oh, what you gonna do about me
Oh, what you gonna do about me
Oh, what you gonna do about me
Oh, what you gonna do about me
I work inside your factories
I struggle in your schools
I fill your penitentiaries
And your military too
I feel the whole world tremblin’
As the world is passed around
If you stand up for what you believe in
Then be prepared to get shot down
Oh, what you gonna do about me
Oh, what you gonna do about me
Oh, what you gonna do about me
Oh, what you gonna do about me
I feel just like a stranger
Blamed for things I’ve never done
I’m livin’ like an outlaw
I’m always on the run
Oh, what you gonna do about me
Oh, what you gonna do about me
Oh, what you gonna do about me
Oh, what you gonna do about me
