Pinhead Gunpowder > Songs > Freedom Is... > Lyrics


    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!
