RE SI SOL LA
A nation stands with heart in hand to sing their anthem proudly.
RE SI SOL LA
Voices raised to sing their praise of their hollow country.
RE SI SOL LA
All this talk of freedom, and this talk of liberty,
RE SI SOL LA
From your plastic podium you try and convince me.
DO RE SI LA DO RE SI LA
I can't fall anymore for some silver-tounged song.
DO RE SI LA DO RE SI LA
Your freedom isn't free, so let me say what freedom means to--
RE SOL LA
I can't see red, white, and blue waving in the air.
RE SI SOL LA
I don't hear the bombs bursting and I don't even care.
RE SI SOL LA
I'm sorry for my lack of faith, I'm not the greatest patriot.
RE SI SOL LA
If this is all there is to freedom I don't want it.
DO RE SI LA DO RE SI LA
I can't fall anymore for some silver-tongued song.
DO RE SI LA DO RE SI LA
Your freedom isn't free, so let me say what freedom means to--
RE SI SOL LA SOL LA SI
Pushing us a drug that you call freedom and democracy,
RE SI SOL LA SOL LA SI
Promiss us that selfishness is the means for happiness.
RE SI SOL LA SOL LA SI
I burned that bridge so long ago that I can hardly see,
RE SI SOL LA SOL LA RE
Anything but solace in what freedom means to me.
DO# SI LA DO# SOL
RE DO# SI LA DO# SOL (x3)
DO RE SI LA DO RE SI LA
I can't fall anymore for some silver-tongued song.
DO RE SI LA DO RE SI LA
Your freedom isn't free, so let me say what freedom means to--
RE SI SOL LA SOL LA SI
It cannot mean to serve ourselves, that doesn't mean a thing.
RE SI SOL LA SOL LA SI
It doesn't mean to give the license to seek ourselves in anything.
RE SI SOL LA SOL LA SI
That would be slavery to ourselves, it isn't free.
RE SI SOL LA SOL LA SI RE
Jesus Christ, the only thing that freedom means to me.
