Roads to Freedom
Embark on the Journey to Liberation with Cock Sparrer's Roads to Freedom
Lyrics
Life sucks and then you die
Life is challenging and ultimately ends in death.
That's what my old man said
The speaker's father shared a pessimistic view of life.
Stand up it's in your face
Face difficulties boldly and confront them.
But don't let it get you down
Despite challenges, maintain a positive attitude.
Remember this instead
Instead of dwelling on negativity, focus on this advice.
There's a road somewhere that'll lead you to your dreams
There is a path leading to one's aspirations.
Ooh ooh ooh
Expressing emphasis or excitement.
We're all looking for the roads to freedom [Repeat]
Collective pursuit of freedom, repeated for emphasis.
It might be a semi-detached
Describing possible homes – a common suburban setting.
With a hatchback in the drive
A house with a car in the driveway.
It might be a toy boy
A younger lover, potentially indicating midlife crises.
Or someone else's wife
Alluding to infidelity or unconventional relationships.
It might be a sawed-off shotgun
A dangerous weapon, suggesting risky pursuits.
Wanted dead or alive
A criminal wanted for capture, adding a rebellious tone.
But there's a road somewhere that'll lead you to your dreams
Reiteration of the existence of a path to dreams.
Ooh ooh ooh
Expressing emphasis or excitement.
We're all looking for the roads to freedom [Repeat]
Repeated emphasis on the collective quest for freedom.
Ooh ooh ooh
Repetition for heightened emphasis on the pursuit.
We're all looking for the roads to freedom [Repeat x 8]
Intensive repetition underlining the universal desire for freedom.
When you're churning up inside
Feeling restless and anxious internally.
And looking for the best way out
Searching for the best solution when facing challenges.
Or when the pressure gets too much
When stress becomes overwhelming with no assistance available.
And there's no help about
Expressing frustration and isolation during difficult times.
When the factory siren goes
Symbolizing a work-related signal, emphasizing a tough environment.
And no one can hear you shout
Highlighting the inability to communicate distress in challenging situations.
There's a road somewhere that'll lead you to your dreams
Emphasis on the existence of a path leading to aspirations.
Ooh ooh ooh
Expressing emphasis or excitement.
We're all looking for the roads to freedom [Repeat x 8]
Intensive repetition underlining the universal desire for freedom.
