Searching for a place to hide Running from those you've defied Forsaking the land of the free Leaving American policy Trying to make a change Hoping to rearrange Planning a strategy Going to be a refugee Status of a free man U.S. government banned Anywhere is a place to be You've just got to be free (Chorus:) American refugee American refugee American refugee American refugee (Verse 1) Got to be free (Chorus x2)
