I'v just come back ot the free world, from behind the Iron Curtain
Touching down at Heathrow, as the prince of bread is rising

Chorus:
And its'good to be back in the Free World
Good to be back in the Free World
Good to be back in the Free World
Good to be back when your'e free!


Back in Ireland over the Border, comming close to Newry
Just been stopped at a roadblock by the forces of security

Chorus

Local paper tells a tale, armed robbery at the disco
Bulles, bombs, drugs and thugs, buglaries and bingo

Chorus

Learn to add and multiply the problems of a nation
Division's taught at an early age through separate education

Chorus

If law becomes a leaky boat, the truth is sure to rock her,
say too much and you're overboard, swimming with John Stalker

Chorus

Go for a holiday in Spain or Greece if you're looking for enjoyment
Unless you belong to the thirty per cent who are looking for employment

Chorus

I've just come back to the Free World, from behind the Iron Curtain
Touching down at Heathrow, as the prince of bread is rising.

Chorus
