Freedom Is... Lyrics
Home of the braves, land of the
Free, where "freedom of choice"
Just means coke or pepsi...
But I'm not buying it.
They say if you're not working
You're just wasting away,
"Employment gaps look bad on your resume"...
Bit I'm not buying, I'm not buying,
I'm not buying their incentives,
Their lies, their empty promises -
Just chains in disguise - while
We let them steal away our very lives!
Tell me why there's stilla 40 hour
Work week while unemployment's
On the rise? Why do we keep
Overproducing but still it's hard just
To survive? Why does "surplus" food
Rot while hungry people die??
We're stripped of human dignity,
Forced to live in poverty, cuz in this
Land of the free our "freedom" is
All fake. We're wage slaves
to the company, land slaves to the
property, and tax slaves to the
economy of the capitalist state!
It's illegal to squat or live on the
Streey, but rent is extortion when
You have to pay to sleep...
But I'm not buying in.
We're just endented servants
Living on the master's land, serfs
Tryig to buy back our freedom on
The lay-away plan...
But I'm not buying, I'm not buying,
I'm not buying
Free, where "freedom of choice"
Just means coke or pepsi...
But I'm not buying it.
They say if you're not working
You're just wasting away,
"Employment gaps look bad on your resume"...
Bit I'm not buying, I'm not buying,
I'm not buying their incentives,
Their lies, their empty promises -
Just chains in disguise - while
We let them steal away our very lives!
Tell me why there's stilla 40 hour
Work week while unemployment's
On the rise? Why do we keep
Overproducing but still it's hard just
To survive? Why does "surplus" food
Rot while hungry people die??
Forced to live in poverty, cuz in this
Land of the free our "freedom" is
All fake. We're wage slaves
to the company, land slaves to the
property, and tax slaves to the
economy of the capitalist state!
Streey, but rent is extortion when
You have to pay to sleep...
But I'm not buying in.
Living on the master's land, serfs
Tryig to buy back our freedom on
The lay-away plan...
But I'm not buying, I'm not buying,
I'm not buying
