"In A Free Land" is a song by Hüsker Dü released as a single in 1982. It was the band's second single.

This release finds the band in a period where its music was still strictly hardcore punk, but does have a hint of their future melodic style, particularly in the title track.

The songs were written by all three members, Bob Mould, Grant Hart, and Greg Norton. All three are also credited with performing on vocals.

The single's pressing was limited to 2,500 copies upon its release, along with an unknown number that contained a lyric insert. [http://www.thirdav.com/hd_discog/01_commercial.html#iafl]

The three tracks, in remixed form (a necessity since the original two-track master was lost by the pressing plant hired by New Alliance), appear on the "Everything Falls Apart and More" CD. The loss of the original two-track master to this EP may have led to a popular rumor that the stereo master to "Everything Falls Apart" itself had been lost. Hüsker Dü meant to be a track on his album 'Love the Music, Hate the Kids' but the publisher stated it wouldn't fit, so Hüsker made it a single.

The title track was covered by the New Jersey hardcore band Ensign(band) on their 2003 album "Love the Music, Hate the Kids".
