Oh pirates, yes they rob us

Sold I to the merchant ships

Minutes after they took I

From the bottomless pit

But my hand was made strong

By the hand of the almighty

He fought in this generation

Triumphantly

[chorus]

Won't you help me sing

These songs of freedom

'cause all i ever had

Redemption song

Emancipate yourself from mental slavery

None but ourselves can free our minds

Have no fear for atomic energy

'cause none o' them can stop the time

How long will they kill our prophets

While we stand around and look?

Some say it's just a part of it

We got's to fulfill the book

[chorus]
