Story behind the song
Dedicated to 'Ferdinand' Kentucky Derby winner and Horse of the Year 1987. When Ferdinand stopped winning he never made it to green pastures for a well deserved retirement, he ended up as horse meat.
Lyrics
'Set us Free' You been a pickin' on me, you been a hittin' on me Yeah all through history you been a kickin' on me Well we got friends they all know the score They're right here breakin' down the slaughterhouse door You been a pickin' on me yeah, you're gonna set me free You been a whippin' my back, don't let a man do that Yeah all through history you wanna lash my back like that Well now the reins are in the other hand You lost your rights say the chief law man You been a hittin' on me yeah, they're gonna set us free Well I ain't a horse with no name You kill our souls you gonna carry this shame Take a horse to water but he just won't drink I know your game no matter what you think Well I ain't a horse with no name You kill our souls you gonna carry this shame Oh take a horse to water but he just won't drink I know your game no matter what you think You wanna mess with me, I might knock out your teeth Yeah all through history you wanna make us bleed an' bleed Well we got friends they all scratch our backs The rope's untied don't take up the slack Don't go a pickin' on me, they're gonna set me free They gonna set us free, they gonna set us free Yeah all through history you never set us free Well we got friends they all know the score They're right here breakin' down the slaughterhouse door They gonna set us free yeah, they gonna set us free They gonna set us free, they gonna set us free Oh the sun's gonna shine on our backs they're gonna set us free yeah They're gonna set us free, they're gonna set us free Oh the sun's gonna shine on our backs n' we'll be runnin' free... © Maria Daines/Paul Killington 2006
