Tell me what it is, what you want Why ya shut me out Who you're gonna get to do it with ya When you can't do it by yourself Speak now or forever hold your peace y'all Tell me what you love, what's in your blood Tell me the truth and voodoo child Get your soul saved So say what you can't say out laud When everybody's watching Where do you stand when you land in the frying pan Freedom ain't free when you're numb and your number's up Which way does the tree fall When you can't read your mouth When your mind is saying nothing at all How do you make it stop when you're caught with your pants down Lying through your teeth and never seeing or believing That the world is round And it's coming back to bite you Where do you stand when you land in the frying pan Freedom ain't free when you're numb and your number's up Which way does the tree fall When you can't read your mouth When your mind is saying nothing at all Ain't no playing hide and seek Trouble with your double speak Mindless, spineless Is that the way you get your kicks Trying to make a fool believe Where do you stand when you land in the frying pan Freedom ain't free when you're numb and your number's up Which way does the tree fall When you can't read your mouth When your mind is saying nothing at all Nothing at all Which way does the tree fall When you can't read your mouth When your mind is saying nothing at all
