Don't need a bandaid for my bullet hole

Don't need a brand name pharmaceutical

Lend me a hand, stay with me in the cold

Oh show me the plan, the way back to the beautiful

Don't need an AK or an A-bomb

I need you with me here now, need you to stay long

All I got's a melody, all I've got is a song

I can make it if you keep telling me to stay strong

I'm a soul inside a body

I'm not a commodity no oh

Untie me I've gotta be let go

Don't let em own me, don't let em use me

Put a pen in my hands and not an uzi

I'm dreaming of the sweet sound of liberty

A railroad underground to deliver me

Give me six strings not a six gun

Can anybody fix me, no physicians

Carry me on six wings to the sixth rung

On the sides of the north in the city of the bright ones

I'm a soul inside a body

I'm not a commodity no oh

Untie me I've gotta be let go

Take my hand, lead me out of the night

Take my hand, lead me into the light

I'm a soul inside a body

I'm not a commodity no oh

Untie me I've gotta be let go

I'm not a commodity no oh

Untie me I've gotta be let go
