Legendary German hard rock band. Scorpions formed in the late 60's and released several progressive rock albums with Michael Schenker(who left to join UFO) before recruiting lead guitarist Uli Jon Roth, who helped push the band into a harder direction. The 70's output of Scorpions represented a bold, innovative new force in heavy metal, but poor promotion in the US by their label, RCA, prevented the band from making a breakthrough. In the 80's Scorpions began moving in a more commercial direction, causing Roth to leave to pursue his own solo career. With a new label, Mercury, and a new guitarist in the talented Matthias Jabs, Scorpions began to enjoy considerable chart success with their involvement in the booming glam metal phenomenon.

I've Got to Be Free Lyrics

Scorpions

You're burnin' my heart
You're burnin' my mind
You're spoilin' my art
You're wasting my time
No taste in your actions
No taste in your line
No tears now...
Just don't do you ever mind
You say you wanna be a superstar
You're givin' up half to get that far
You say you wanna ride a diamond car
But I don't like your fancy car
Hey hey hey, don't you wanna see
I'm not your steppin' stone
Hey hey hey, I've gotta be free
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
You're in love with success
You're spilling my wine
No part of my address, babe
Your ways aren't mine
You may got the money
But your wastin' my life
I'm not your Bugs Bunny
And you're not my wife
You say you only do it for affect
But you don't wanna see what I detest
I think you're depraved
I'm gonna leave you so
But you can't see what I see so let me go
Hey hey hey, don't you wanna see
I'm not your steppin' stone
Hey hey hey, I've gotta be free
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
Hey hey hey, don't you wanna see
I'm not your steppin' stone
Hey hey hey, I've gotta be free
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
Hey hey hey, don't you wanna see
I'm not your steppin' stone
Hey hey hey, I've gotta be free
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
So leave my life alone
