Ain't got no place to call a home The devil's going to set me free The devil's going to make me a free man Only chains and broken bones (The devil's going to make me a free man) (The devil's going to set me free) Oh, the devil's going to make me a free

Ain't got no home, ain't got no shoes Ain't got no money, ain't got no class Ain't got no friends, ain't got no schooling Ain't got no wear, ain't got no job Ain't got no money, no place to stay Ain't got no father, ain't got no mother Ain't got no

Wish I could find forgiveness It ain't hiding in no bottle on a shelf I can't feel it on some Sunday morning pew The peace I need so desperately Is buried in the one place I can't get to Girl, it's gotta come from you Or lying in the bed of someone else

Well, then a 'nuff gettoh youths no have no place to go Live night and day roaming in the gettoh Nuff gettoh youths ain't got no place of their own Give them some place that they can call their home Well, then a 'nuff politions telling poor people lies

I said I'm mad (I'm burnin' up) I had a friend one time, at least I thought he was my friend For he came to me, said "I ain't got no place to go" I said "take it easy man, you can come home to my house, I'll get you a pillow where you can rest your head"

(now baby tell what you wanna do with me) Let me take you to a place nice and quiet There ain't no one there to interrupt Ain't gotta rush I just want to take it nice and slow See I've been waiting for this for so long We'll be makin' love until the sun
