I can break your chains
Crack your cage apart
I can tear your walls down
With the beating of my heart
And if you said I have no choice
I would tell you, you're a liar
I'm not afraid to
Chuck this frying pan into your fire
I'm a million miles high
I'm a piece of the sky
Well I'm the purple in the rainbow, my my my
I'm like wind in your hair
I'm like the rain on the sea
'Cause I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, oh
Oh, you can't keep me down
Put me in your place
I will never wear your 20th century
Pacemaker face, yeah
You will never bleed
The spirit out of me
I'm flesh and blood, I'm real
I'm not your factory fantasy, no not me
I'm a million miles high
I'm a piece of the sky
Well I'm the purple in the rainbow, my my my
I'm like wind in your hair
I'm like the rain on the sea
I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, yeah
Well, you can't keep me down
Put me in your place
I will never wear your 20th century
Pacemaker face, yeah
You will never bleed
The spirit out of me, no
I'm flesh and blood, I'm real
I'm not your factory fantasy, no not me
I'm a million miles high
I'm a piece of the sky
Well, I'm the purple in the rainbow, my my my
I'm like wind in your hair
I'm like rain on the sea
Well, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free
I'm a million miles high
I'm a piece of the sky
The purple in the rainbow, my my my
I'm like wind in your hair
I'm like the rain on the sea
Well, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, yeah
Crack your cage apart

Urban legend has it the song was originally supposed to be on Free but it got cut at the last minute by accident. It was then suggested that they put it as the B-side to God Is a Bullet. I doubt it's true, but this song joins the ranks of the Who's "The Kids Are All Right" and Elvis Costello's "Almost Blue" of being great tracks that were accidentally left off the album.
