  • Well, well, the birds in the trees
    Know something we can't see
    'Cause they know we were born to be free
    Don't need the government cramping my style
    Give them an inch, they take a mile
    Take you in with a phony smile
    Wouldn't you agree?

    The new normal is not normal
    It's no kind of normal at all
    Everyone seems to have amnesia
    Just trying to remember the Berlin Wall

    Some kind of new old ideology
    With new psychology
    But it's not for the benefit of you and me
    No, no, no

    The new normal is not normal
    It's no kind of normal at all
    Everyone seems to have amnesia
    Trying to remember the Berlin Wall

    It's some kind of new old ideology
    Running tandem with the weary
    Kinda psychology
    But it's not for the benefit of you and me

    'Cause we (We) , we were born to be free
    'Cause we were born to be free
    'Cause we were born to be free (To be free) Writer/s: Erroll Garner, Johnny Burke
