I do it coz I want to!
Not because I have too!
If you tell me that I have to,
I probably won’t want to.
(Verse 1)
As a matter of fact, and you may swallow this with gall,
I don’t have to do anything at all.
You can pull your power trip, but this you can’t deny.
I don’t have to do anything but die!
(Chorus)
Tyrants in robes, colored in black,
twisting are laws, our rights are under attack!
contempt for the truth, God, and the masses,
rights diminish as each day passes.
(Verse2)
Soon the Bill of Rights will be displayed in museums.
It’s gonna be a relic, like a roman coliseum.
The same thing goes for the Constitution.
Tyrants in black collude with skillful execution!
It’s time to stand up and take our country back!
Boot them out of office, or kick off the revolution!
(Chorus)
Tyranny in robes, colored in black,
twisting are laws, our rights are under attack!
contempt for the truth, God, and the masses,
rights diminish as each day passes
(Verse 3)
Takin our money, guns, and cigarettes.
And our founders, they want us to forget.
If we give up liberty for safety, pleasure-seekers,
Mr. Franklin said, “We deserve neither!”
(Bridge)
If we expect to be both ignorant and free,
We can expect what was, and never will be! (Jefferson said that.)
Liberty.
And Mr. Calhoun said,
“It’s harder to preserve than it is to obtain.”
Watchin it whither is fucking insane!
Liberty.
I agree with Henry. It’s “Liberty or Death!”
I’ll preserve the first or take my last breath.
Liberty.
It’s being undermined.
Liberty.
(Verse 4)
So when you’re lying on the couch, watchin the game,
Remember the blood of patriots while you are entertained.
Freedom. We have it. It doesn’t last forever.
We gotta fight to keep it. A continuous endeavor.
Enjoy the entertainment, but a word to the wise…
Tyranny’s on the rise!
Tyranny.
(Chorus)
Tyranny.
Liberty.
Let’s take it back!
