free, male and 21

Singer:rundgren, todd

we're free

we're male

we're twenty-one

free

male

and twenty-one

free

male

and twenty-one

it's not enough to be twenty-one and free

it's not the same as male and twenty-one

free

male

and twenty-one

this is such a fine distinction

the career that we've begun

i just made twenty-one

i'm old enough to run

for congressman or clerk of the public works

or dogcatcher or something just as dumb

if i should choose to run

i make no exaggeration

just a statement of the facts

now i'm second generation

and i am manly to the max

and no one can decree

just who i have to be

the choice is up to me

and if i could be anything

i'd be

male and twenty-one

it's nice to be a man

i use it all i can

i never had a choice for a higher voice

but i have to say i'm glad to be a man

since this is what i am

sigmund freud may have a crisis

with his own identity

but there's nothing wrong with me

because i enjoy being a boy

and all that it will say upon my resume'

free

male

and twenty-one

free

male

and twenty-one

free

male

and twenty-one

free

male

and twenty-one

if i could change

change anything

everything

everything in the world

then i would make

half of the world

free

male

and twenty-one

free

male

and twenty-one

free

male

and twenty-one

and i don't believe in heaven

what a let down it would be

and i hope there's not a hell

but there must be a god 'cause he made me

free

male

and twenty-one

there's got to be a god 'cause he made me

male and twenty-one

free

male

and twenty-one
