Lyrics
To be free
Like the birds and the bees yeah
To be free sister free sister free
Like the wind in the trees
You gotta fly if you wanna survive
Don't eat shit if you wanna stay fit

Free yeah, like the birds and the bees
Free, you gotta stay free free free

You gotta burn sister you gotta learn yeah
You gotta lie, cheat and lie, cheat and lie
If you wanna survive
Don't get high if you don't wanna fly
Yeah free like Dusty and me
I gotta tell you what its all about

Free yeah like the birds and the bees
Free yeah you gotta stay free free freedom

Yeah Freedom Well Free Freedom

Free like the birds and the bees
You gotta fly sister fly sister fly
If you wanna survive
Gotta be free like sweet H and me
