Land Of The Free

Musicians need writers and writers need musicians.

Falling fast from a free dream

Into the sea of greed

Dragged down by a stone

Drowning for my needs.

A free paradise

Choking on the disease

We create with the side effects

From washed down luxuries.

(Chorus)

Living in a world making history

Living in a world where the living isn’t free

Living in a world that was made for you and me

Living in a world controlled by debt and fees

Owned by the greedy

Killing all the needy

Living in a world where the innocent bleed.

Bring your rules with you’re pain

Creating misery

Breaks down in the long way

Make the world insane

Hiding behind walls of fame

You spread unease

Hero’s always end up

Begging on their knees

Tears from gas

Can you feel comfort in the warmth when you bleed

When we’re already crying to be free.

(Chorus)

Living in a world making history

Living in a world where the living isn’t free

Living in a world that was made for you and me

Living in a world controlled by debt and fees

Owned by the greedy

Killing all the needy

Living in a world where the innocent bleed.

Control a world

That was meant to be free

Take away slavery

Still killing for money

Sweatshops for fashion

Ignore the way the sweat bleeds

This land was meant for dreaming

But you control everything we see

Even a bird 

Has the right to a home in a tree

People who try get cast away

Make them society's enemies.

(Chorus)

Living in a world making history

Living in a world where the living isn’t free

Living in a world that was made for you and me

Living in a world controlled by debt and fees

Owned by the greedy

Killing all the needy

Living in a world where the innocent bleed.

(Bridge)

Battle cries from allies

Fighting a love cause

You don’t look into our eyes

Standing on your ego

So high above

Where does freedom go

Do we want to be controlled

Clean your mind clear

This is the time where

We smash our TVs

The programming

Has us believing

We have to live

With blood on our knees

We have been fed a disease

The cure is with love 

Humanity will see

The earth was made perfect 

And to be free.

(Chorus)

Living in a world making history

Living in a world where the living isn’t free

Living in a world that was made for you and me

Living in a world controlled by debt and fees

Owned by the greedy

Killing all the needy

Living in a world where the innocent bleed.

Living in a world 

But are we really living

If the living isn’t free.
