lyrics

FREE* WORLD

Tell me about a free* world where the rich men in control
Need our spending money to live down at the capital
Tell me about a free* world where the folks near poverty
Are united by sponsoring first-world families

Tell me about a free* world and pledge allegiance on your knees
Maybe freedom means something different to you and me
Tell me about a free* world and crack the whip of liberty
Maybe freedom means something different to you and me

Tell me about a free* world where protections for the poor
Send the privileged kids to school and ours to the war
Tell me about a free* world where insurance isn’t guaranteed
So, if you’re going to get sick, you better hit the lottery

Tell me about the good old days again
When we got to know the straight, white boogeymen
Who cared more about your bedroom or the color of your skin
Than they did about your grandma’s medicine
But you gambled with them, man.

Well, what did you win?
What did you win getting conned again?
What did you win getting conned again by them Washington men?
What did you win?
What did you win getting conned again?
What did you win getting conned again by them Washington men?

Tell me about a free* world and pledge allegiance on your knees
Maybe freedom means something different to you and me
Tell me about a free* world and crack the whip of liberty
Maybe freedom means something different to you and me
