LYRICS: (Written by Jennifer Taylor)
Yesterday you called my name, babe.
Today you're not the same way.
I'm a friend of so and so and
on and on and
so it goes
Don't be a slave, brother
You're not like any other.
Yesterday you wanted to be
Young and loud and
honestly free
The city's calling out your name
tomorrow it won't be the same
Don't be a slave, brother
You're not like any other
Last night is gone
The lights are on
Today's just waiting
For another night to come back on.
