Hey, it’s a national shame
A great hypocrisy
Even a peculiar institution
Updated for the modern day
Under the thumb of subjugation
These generations are just trying to be
The myth we were taught to believe in
That we had the right to be free
But it’s not that simple in practice
With stumbling block of a guilt complex
Told to do better than those before us
With this millstone around our necks
Hey, Heyyyyyyeee!
Olly Olly Oxen Free
Olly Olly Oxen Free
That’s the way that the world should be
Like the year of the Jubilee
Under the thumb of subjugation
These generations are just trying to be
The myth we were taught to believe in
That we had the right to be free
Ignorant; we were cheated
Asleep, we’ve been surprised
Divided; the yoke has been forced upon us
Heavily laden; lest we might try to rise
Too late once we became enlightened
Now awake to the fraudulence
Many factions find themselves united
Disobedient but ever vigilant
Hey, Heyyyyyyeee!
Olly Olly Oxen Free
Olly Olly Oxen Free
That’s the way that the world should be
Like the year of the Jubilee
