If you want to sing out, sing out, and if you want to be free, be free, cause there\'s a million ways to be, you know that there are.
If you want to sing out, sing out, and if you want to be free, be free, cause there's a million ways to be, you know that there are.

It's got to be seen as a deterrent, so that other people should not commit the same mistake again.
