Intro:
Our fathers who
Fought the war
Fought for freedom
Unlocked the door
They didn’t have to
Spill their blood
But they did
For the ones they loved
They had a plan
For liberty
A guarantee
For you and me
But with freedom
It’s you and me
To keep ourselves
The land of the free
Chorus:
Freedom is here today
Freedom you’ll have to pay
Freedom is here today
Freedom never has to stay
Just because
We’ve got it now
It’s not forever
I’ll tell you how
They take our rights
One at a time
Pass new laws
That make it a crime
Wear a helmet
Or go to jail
See the judge
To pay your bail
Without a warrant
They take your house
Take your money
Freeze your bank accounts
Chorus:
Bridge:
Lead:
Chorus:
The politicians
Love their jobs
Take vacations
The more they rob
Punish doctors
Who talk about
All the options
Another way out
They take a little
At a time
Make wonder
Blur the line
No more pictures
Of nudity
Try to limit
What we see
Chorus:
