Lyrics
Verse 1:
Outside the sky was gray, the sun had gone away.
It looked like another wasted lonely empty day.
I almost picked up a book and then I got your call.
?Get in your car, babe. It?s Always Sunny at the Mall!?
Verse 2:
The shops in West Berlin were having a sellout day.
Freedom to shop, my friend had finally come their way.
The selection?s so much better on the west side of the wall.
Get out your Deutchmarks, we?re going to the Mall!
Chorus:
Freedom to shop, never, never, never gonna stop
As long as I can buy, never, never, never gonna die
Freedom to spend, until the living end
Freedom to buy, shopping makes me high!
Verse 3:
You might be in East Berlin, or a little Mid-West town.
Money might be tight, my friend, but you let it get you down.
There is one human right that unifies us all.
Mach Schnell baby, we?re marching to the Mall!
Chorus:
Freedom to shop, never, never, never gonna stop
As long as I can buy, never, never, never gonna die
Freedom to spend, until the living end
Freedom to buy, shopping makes me high!
Ad Lib:
Oh, Freedom. Oh, Freedom Yeah.
Oh, Freedom. Oh, Freedom Yeah.
