Artist/Band: Lucky Dube
Lyrics for Song: Mickey Mouse Freedom
Lyrics for Album: House Of Exile [1992]



Put his coat on his shoulders



And slowly he walked away



Behind him he could hear



Those innocent voices



Crying out so bitterly saying



We did not start the war



But we fighting now



We did not start the fire



But we burning now



They were told many years ago



That their country is free



But they didn't understand



That it's not real, they never knew it was a



Mickey Mouse freedom, independence



Me come in a you country



That is said to be free



Me come in a you country



That is said to be free



Me sight corruption



Me sight starvation



Walking like a millionaire



'Cause you think you country is free



One thing you don't know is that



Your country is being remote controlled



Mickey Mouse freedom, independence



Mickey Mouse freedom, independence



Mickey Mouse freedom, independence



...
