I heard a song once and it was beautiful and it was free and it was my dream I lost my housing at the sweet young age of fourteen I heard a song on the radio, it was my dream I found the value of a song walking in the rain cold and alone with no place to go I found the value of a song singing to myself Just make it through the night, keep awake till the sunlight It don't matter who sold 6 million It don't matter who made 6 million What you call success I call excess What I'd call important is relevance I heard a song once it was by Husker Du They tried to sell their songs for a million dollars They probably never knew that they kept one scared kid alive They traded gold for what they had inside All my friends now now on TV All my friends now sold what they love for money All my friends now are bought and sold so easily All my friends now think they can afford not to be free
