They sell us freedom

It does not come free

They worship the gun

They control our bodies

Then tell me I should be grateful

And wrap myself in their flag

That I am ashamed of

It's empty promises

Broken dreams

That built the thrones

Of our shadow king thieves

They castigated Cassandras

Who could see through the dark

As the power players planned this

So you're damn right I'm bitter

Where I used to be sweet

'Cause America broke

The good heart in me

It took a beating

But it's still beating

And as I'm leaving

It's freeing
