You Think We're Free?

We think we live in the land of the free,

Gonna spread it ‘round the world

so they can be like we…

We who live in tyranny

yet want to cling to an illusion…

An illusion of living

in the land of the free!

 

Think I’m wrong; think I may be out of my mind?

We vote, don’t we govern-

don’t we control our future…

Our future which we’ve given away for safety sakes…

For safety sakes we think “I may be out of my mind!”

 

Oppression comes from Washington, D.C.

Devil’s Cause~ spread our freedom’s form of tyranny…

Tyranny without a single gun shot fired

over all who pay…

Pay for the oppression from Washington, D.C.

 

You think we’re free?

Answer a question or four for me…

Are you given a number with a security tie that actually

helps track your income, accounts and life?

Do you work hard to earn your keep simply to find your

government kept more than a fair share?

Are you still protected under the wonder of the 4th

Amendment or is it merely another fantasy?

What does the IRS give to you?

Fear, panic and a means to be a criminal without knowing the crime?

 

History warned us of what could be if we dared

to falter on our liberty.

Romans once roamed as free men who later fell

under chain so their mighty

empire could collect its due,

same as ours now collects from me and you…

 

You think we’re free? You still believe we have representatives

upholding a constitution long since adulterated beyond recognition…

 

You think we’re free? Dare to be caught

by the tax man,

feel the draconian punishments of a spy system

once strong with honor, now ripe with pain…

 

You think we’re free? Listen to our politicians as they

promise Robin Hood’s device, to soak the rich and

give to those they’ve chosen for the hope of a poor man’s vote….

 

We think we live in the land of the free,

Gonna spread it ‘round the world

so they can be like we…

We who live in tyranny yet want to cling to an illusion…

An illusion of living in the land of the free!

Free?

 

--------------------

I get so tired of hearing our politicians talk about spreading our form of 'democracy' and freedom around the world. We were never to be a democracy, see Thomas Jefferson on what a democracy is. If we are so very free why is the criminal justice system the fastest growing and why can we not keep up with the demand for more jail cells to house our citizens busy committing non-violent crime?~
