Well, the fields belong to the farmers And the forests belong to the king These days our pleasures are all behind fences We have to pay for everything So turn around and come on down The beach is free Just turn around and come on down The beach is free Well, the cities are teeming with people And the highway is jammed up with cars And the airport is a nightmare in season But you don't have to go that far Just turn around and come on down The beach is free Just turn around and come on down The beach is free Well, they take all the flags down in the evening And the soldiers stand guard at the keep But the beaches are always open 'Cause the ocean, she never sleeps So turn around and come on down The beach is free Just turn around and come on down The beach is free So turn around and come on down The beach is free Just turn around and come on down The beach is free
