Lyrics

Freedom

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I used to think you understood

Taught me right and learnt me good

Made things simple for my brain

Told the truth and made it plain

But the implications I mistook

Until I found out whose side you took

And now with paper in my hand

I'm beginning to understand

So this is freedom - {they must be joking}

They must be joking - {if they think it's true}

So this is freedom - [i doubt their truth}

So this is freedom - {for me and you}

From the front page news to the interviews

Its sink the reds and left the blues

They pretend they're differing points of view

But it's only different shades of blue

But the implications I mistook

Until I found out whose side you took

And now with paper in my hand

I'm beginning to understand

So this is freedom - {they must be joking}

They must be joking - {if they think it's true}

So this is freedom - [i doubt their truth}

So this is freedom - {for me and you}

[guitar solo]

So this is freedom - {they must be joking}

They must be joking - {if they think it's true}

So this is freedom - [i doubt their truth}

So this is freedom - {for me and you}

F.r.e.e.d.o.m.

They locked us up once

So they'll do it again

C.h.a.i.n.e.d.

They locked up my friends

Now they're coming for me
