Feels to me like CC is talking about liberty and freedom.
Seems like the first verse could be going in and out of a literal interpretation of the Statue of Liberty. The fight for freedom and democracy (as portrayed by the media) is always in the papers. When the statue of liberty is lit, her features are very defined. go overseas or to 3rd world countries that are suppressed, they get treated as celebrities (so I've heard). She never bats an eye, because she's a statue...
Mr. officer, don't try to take my freedom away, or one of us is going to be laid out.
The second verse is referring more to the cost of freedom, and having to fight for it constantly. Also, some people that try to rise up against the establishments tend to get chastised and branded as lunatics. So as he would be seen as crazy from a distance, his love for freedom is true and though they may try to mislabel the place of freedom and peace being a painting or fictional place, he knows in his heart it is a very real existence.
Maybe I'm crazy, but that's what I heard.
First post I've ever made here... really diggin this site :)
Totally Agree with byrdinflight. This song gives me chills thinking about all the suffering people go through because...

supposedly we are free?
A true burden put on you and me.
Time to break through this canopy
Share your views, unlike the embassy.
This freedom of choice has got the best of me.

I agree with your description. I would just like to add. The verse:
I agree with your description. I would just like to add. The verse:
And everywhere i go
People hand me quarters
And they pat me on the back
They treat me like I'm famous
I'll never leave her side
'Cause today can be dangerous
And everywhere i go
People hand me quarters
And they pat me on the back
They treat me like I'm famous
I'll never leave her side
'Cause today can be dangerous
This could mean that, because he does not go with the main stream and in his music his message is about liberty. People like it, commend him on it, but he doesn't make much money. But he will always bring that message because things need to change.

@byrdinflight I was smoking weed on a rooftop with a friend yesterday, whilst listening to this song. I have listende to it occasionally for about 4 years, but yesterday I finally felt like understanding the true meaning of the song, and I totally agree with your interpretation. Its crazy that someone else has had the exact same thougts about this.
