Kerouac used to walk these roads
  (I know he did, I know he did)
  Miles of type strewn behind him so
  (He knew how to live, he knew how to live)
  Throw the arching for a perfect dream
  (I know he did, I know he did)
  Red pills, blue pills, white pills, green
  (He knew how to live, he knew how to live)
  
  Look before you leap
  Watch the company you keep
  Never fall asleep
  'Cause the ocean's too deep
  Look before you leap
  Watch the company you keep
  Never fall asleep
  
  Freedom ain't what it used to be
  Ain't what it ought to be
  It used to be so free
  No, freedom ain't what it ought to be
  Ain't what it used to be
  I can't even think
  
  The art of war was written in blood
  (I know it was, I know it was)
  There is no peace not born of love
  (Just because, just because)
  I'm not sure who to kiss, you can't even fuck
  (It's just my luck, it's just my luck)
  I'm riding home on the wings of a dove
  (Just because, just because)
  
  Freedom ain't what it used to be
  Ain't what it ought to be
  It used to be so free
  No, freedom ain't what it ought to be
  Ain't what it used to be
  You know, I can't even think
  
  Look before you leap
  Watch the company you keep
  Never fall asleep
  'Cause the ocean's too deep
  Look before you leap
  Watch the company you keep
  Never fall asleep
