Anthem

A nation stands with heart in hand

To sing their anthem proudly

Voices raised to sing their praise

Of their hollow country

All this talk of freedom

And some talk of liberty

From your plastic podium

You try and convince me

I can't fall anymore

For some silver-tongued song

Your freedom isn't free

So let me say what freedom means to

I can's see red, white, and blue waving in the air

I don't hear the bombs bursting and I don't even care

I'm sorry for my lack of faith

I'm not the greatest patriot

If this is all their is to freedom I don't want it

I can't fall anymore

For some silver-tongued song

Your freedom isn't free

So let me say what freedom means to

Pushing us a drug that you call freedom and democracy

Promise us that selfishness is the means for happiness

I burned that bridge so long ago that I can hardly see

Anything but solace in what freedom means to me

I can't fall anymore

For some silver-tongued song

Freedom isn't free

So let me say what freedom means to

It cannot mean to serve ourselves

That doesn't mean a thing

It doesn't mean to give the license

To seek ourselves in anything

That would be slavery to ourselves it isn't free

Jesus Christ, the only thing that freedom means to me.
