Lyrics & Translation
Dive into Alice Cooper's "Freedom," a hard-hitting anthem that served as a defiant cry for artistic liberty against censorship in the 1980s. This song is a fantastic way to explore the theme of rebellion and individual rights in English rock music, offering powerful lyrical expressions against oppressive forces. You can learn vocabulary related to protest, independence, and social commentary while experiencing the raw energy of classic heavy metal.
