i once knew a man 
his name was bobby 
he was an english teacher 
living in asia 
bobby had everything 
the girls the money 
for once in his life he felt free 
bobby was from america 
he came from new york 
the best city in the world they say 
bobby had no trouble 
felt everything was so easy 
for the first time in his life he felt free 
oh bobby didn't know 
he came to the wrong place 
on this december night 
he got killed by some farmer 
whose wife he had slept with 
oh bobby you should have been careful 
bobby this is not your country 
bobby was young 
24 years old 
didn't have a degree 
but knew how to speak english 
bobby never went to university 
he didn't have the money 
he couldn't afford a good education 
but he could speak english 
so he could live like a king 
you don't need to be rich 
when you are from america 
bobby came back to new york 
to america 
in a coffin 
his parents cried but it was too late 
you don't have to be in america 
to be killed by a mad man 
you just have to be free 
you just have to be free
