Freedom Fries Lyrics
The father, the son and the holy ghost
You know they took the last train to the the coast
They were moving fast, they were raising sand
They were running wild in the promise land
Ahhhhhhh
The father, the son and the three wise men
Are operating undercover out in Bethlehem
Will they heal the sick? Can they raise the dead?
Can they bring it on home like the good book says?
Ahhhhhhh
Billy the kid told the prince of thieves
"A little give and take to satisfy my needs.
Well you can give me much but I'll take some more
I got my eyes on your treasure 'neath the desert floor."
Ahhhhhhh
Freedom fries and burns and scars
The liberator goes to far
Freedom fies and screams and yells
The promised land is promised hell
You know they took the last train to the the coast
They were moving fast, they were raising sand
They were running wild in the promise land
Are operating undercover out in Bethlehem
Will they heal the sick? Can they raise the dead?
Can they bring it on home like the good book says?
"A little give and take to satisfy my needs.
Well you can give me much but I'll take some more
I got my eyes on your treasure 'neath the desert floor."
The liberator goes to far
Freedom fies and screams and yells
The promised land is promised hell

Well its an anti-war song playing on the phenomenon of people renaming french fries "freedom fries" during the anti-french reaction when France denounced the war in Iraq. Plant uses metaphor heavily and I wish more people commented on his recent stuff.
