[Chorus]
Free me right now
You take me away, take it from me
Free me right now
You take me away, take it from me, yeah

[Verse 1]
Beautiful prisoner, left here for dead
Promises made and sentences read
Voices and visions are locked in my head
Like a safe full of sorrow
All of the words that we damn never speak
All of our ghosts and the secrets we keep
Gather them all we'll bury them deep
Like a safe full of sorrow

[Chorus]
Free me right now
You take me away, take it from me
Free me right now
You take me away, take it from me

[Verse 2]
One for forever
One in your name
One to remember
We're one and the same
One to forget but it always remains
Like a safe full of sorrow

[Chorus]
Free me right now
You take me away, take it from me
Free me right now
You take me away, take it from me

[Post-Chorus]
Could you free what's keepin' you
Well I need somebody too

[Bridge]
Free me! Free me
Free me! Free me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
Free me right now
You take me away, take it from me
Free me right now
You take me away, take it from me

[Post-Chorus]
Could you free what's keepin' you
Well I need somebody too

[Outro]
Free me! Free me
Free me! Free me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah

Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters are an American rock band formed in 1995 by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. Originally a solo project by him to overcome the grief of Kurt Cobain’s death, Grohl attracted label interest with his inaugural demo tape.

According to Dave Grohl, the band is named after the UFOs that were reported by Allied aircraft pilots in World War II.

I was reading a lot of books on UFOs. Not only is it a fascinating subject, but there’s a treasure trove of band names in those UFO books! So, since I had recorded the first record by myself, playing all the instruments, but I wanted people to think that it was a group, I figured that FOO FIGHTERS might lead people to believe that it was more than just one guy. Silly, huh?
