Since we're talking history, how about this from 1642 (only song lyrics from the 1970s AFAIK):
Stone walls do not a prison make
Nor Iron bars a cage
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an hermitage
If I have freedom in my love
And in my soul am free
Angels alone that soar above
Enjoy such liberty.
Or one that has always made my heart ache - about African slaves in the US from 1927 but relating to an earlier era:
I get weary and sick of trying
I'm tired of living and scared of dying

I saw a dead head sticker on a Cadillac. A little voice inside my head said don’t look back you can never look back.
News guy wept when he told he told us earth was really dying.
A cop knealt and kissed the feet of a priest and a queer threw up at the sight of that.
So no-one told you life was gonna be this way
I met a gin-soaked bar room queen in Memphis, she tried to take me upstairs for a ride
And you come to me on a summer breezeLast edited by HibbyDave; 10-06-2018 at 07:58 AM.
