Rather ignore you than to inform you I won't conform to your ball and chain Lest yea forgotten I was born a free man And my intention is to die the same Never gonna be, never gonna be No never gonna be Gonna be your Never gonna be, never gonna be No never gonna be Gonna be your I won't be your token your beast o' burden That yoke is broken bridle and bit From grace I've fallen a heart that's hardened No need for pardon I won't repent Never gonna be, never gonna be No never gonna be Gonna be your Never gonna be, never gonna be No never gonna be Gonna be your slave My eyes have seen the glory - hallelujah Sing a hallelujah chorus - hallelujah, hallelujah Bound now I've found my way back home Bound now I've found my way back home Bound now I've found my way back home I'm coming Slave The difference is I stand liberated While you're lying prostrate to your own device Never surrender my independence How sweet the cadence let freedom Slave Never gonna be, never gonna be No never gonna be Gonna be your Never gonna be, never gonna be No never gonna be Gonna be your slave
