Kerouac used to walk these roads 

(I know he did, I know he did) 

Miles of type strewn behind him so 

(He knew how to live, he knew how to live) 

Throw the arching for a perfect dream 

(I know he did, I know he did) 

Red pills, blue pills, white pills, green 

(He knew how to live, he knew how to live) 



Look before you leap 

Watch the company you keep 

Never fall asleep 

'Cause the ocean's too deep 

Look before you leap 

Watch the company you keep 

Never fall asleep 



Freedom ain't what it used to be 

Ain't what it ought to be 

It used to be so free 

No, freedom ain't what it ought to be 

Ain't what it used to be 

I can't even think 



The art of war was written in blood 

(I know it was, I know it was) 

There is no peace not born of love 

(Just because, just because) 

I'm not sure who to kiss, you can't even fuck 

(It's just my luck, it's just my luck) 

I'm riding home on the wings of a dove 

(Just because, just because) 



Freedom ain't what it used to be 

Ain't what it ought to be 

It used to be so free 

No, freedom ain't what it ought to be 

Ain't what it used to be 

You know, I can't even think 



Look before you leap 

Watch the company you keep 

Never fall asleep 

'Cause the ocean's too deep 

Look before you leap 

Watch the company you keep 

Never fall asleep
