Freedom Is...

Home of the braves, land of the free
Where our freedom of choice means Coke or Pepsi
But I'm not buying it
I'm not buying it

They say if you're not working, you're just wasting away
Employment gaps look bad on your resume
But I'm not buying
I'm not buying

I'm not buying their incentives, their lies
Their empty promises just chains in disguise
While they steal away our very lives

Tell me why there's still a forty hour work week
Unemployment's on the rise
(Huh!)
Why do we keep overproducing, but still it's hard just to survive?
(Huh!)
Why does surplus food rot while hungry people die?
(Huh!)

Stripped of human dignity
Forced to live in poverty
'Cause 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 street
But rent is extortion when you have to pay to sleep
And I'm not buying it
I'm not buying it

We're just indentured servants living on the master's land
Serfs trying to buy back our freedom on the layaway plan
But I'm not buying it
I'm not buying it
I'm not buying it, I'm not buying it
Cut!
