Repeat after me I am free

Composée et interprétée par Matthieu Bottiau et Olivia Denis

​

Say hello / say sorry

Blow your nose / kiss auntie

Wash your hands / brush your teeth

Stop giggling / go to sleep

Do what I say

Do your homework / pass your exam

Only one sweet / say thank you Mum

Clean up your mess / hurry up quick

And for God’s sake / stop being sick

Now repeat after me

Yes

You are free / you are free / you are free

​

Go to work / be model

Feed your kids / act normal

Don’t protest / watch TV

No U turn / drive gently 

Do what is said

Follow fashion / don’t jump the queue

Don’t drink too much / and flush the loo

Obey the law / respect the Crown

Pay your taxes / vote for the clown 

Now repeat after me

Yes

We are free / we are free / we are free

​

Go shopping / hold the door

Keep smiling / to neighbour

Walk the dog / comb your hair

Don’t park here / one way there 

Do what you should

Stop your habits / and addictions

And what about / your obsessions

You’re free to think / you are silly

But you’re silly / to think you’re free 

Now repeat after me

Yes

I am free / I am free / I am free

“Go to work, send yours kids to school

Follow Fashion, act normal

walk on the pavement,

watch t.v.

save your old age,

obey the law

Repeat after me :  I am free”
