Freedom
I love my country and will defend it till the end
but we have lost our way and need to find
the right path again.
Freedom – Reworked
Freedom is a word we
use here in the United
States to describe our
values and beliefs all
across this land but
freedom is never really
free for any race of man
The cost of freedom is
so severe as we fight for
it in its name but how
are you free in a country
where everyone is not
treated all the same
With laws so unfair to
everyone and our civil
rights so lame a political
nightmare we vote on
for the Democrats or
the Republicans that are
all only in it like it is just
a Facebook game
How free are you to go
find a job when quotas
are the norm it should
not matter what race
you are if we can all do
the job the same so I say
take away the quotas and
make it fair for all so only
the best will remain
What does it matter if you’re
gay or if you’re straight
because love doesn’t
even care when two
people no matter what
gender fall in love its
happy everywhere
This country I love was
built on the blood of
every race of man so
remember the sweat
that we drip and the
blood that we bleed is
same color so together
we must all make stand
Please tell me how is
freedom free when it
cost us every day with
our government who
controls what you do
and where you go with
all the stupid laws they
Pass and makes all obey
They say that slavery is
over and every man is
free but remember how
much tax we now pay so
what we take home from
our jobs it’s like we work
for free
Our jails are full of people
just trying to make it
through as the government
is more concerned on
the money they make
just by arresting and
jailing you
See because helping us
makes no money and they
want it for all their made
up wars all for the mighty
dollar and a barrel of oil
and so much more
How is it free when it cost
to live and our veterans are
on the streets coming home
with PTSD they risked
their lives in freedoms
name yet there freedom
isn’t free?
And now they tax you
when eat and just to
fall asleep to go to work
and to drive they tax
us from the day we are
born and even tax us
when we die
So you see freedom is
never free no matter
who, what or where
you are the only true
freedom that we truly
have lives in our minds
souls and hearts
