Free the Lady Songtext
von Buffy Sainte‐Marie

She was more than a mistress
He made her his waitress
He ruled her with strings
That he pulled by his will
Like a silent partner
In a growing business
She was always informed
But never really seen

And her days dragged
And her nights they were bad
She was used and abused in her bedroom

But she stuck to the script
Like a well trained actress
As her role was ranged
But it′s time for a change


So open up your eyes
For life is just a lie
Then you
Free the lady
Free the lady
Free the lady
Free the lady
Free the lady
Right away
Right away

She was never a queen
Though her man was a king
He rambled and gambled
Free like the wind

But his wife spent her life
Locked in the kitchen
Her joy was the children
And the reason she remained


So open up your eyes
Your life is just a lie
Can you free the lady
Free the lady
Free the lady
Free the lady
Free the lady
Free the lady
Free the lady
Right away
Right away
Right away
Right away

Hey open up your eyes
Your life is just a lie
Can you free the lady
In your mind in your heart right now
Free the lady
In your mind in your heart right now
Free the lady
In your mind in your heart right now
Free the lady
In your mind in your heart right now
Free the lady
