Pinhead Gunpowder - Freedom Is lyrics

Where "freedom of choice" just means coke or Pepsi...

But I'm not buying it.

They say if you're not working

You're just wasting away,

"Employment gaps look bad on your resume"...

But I'm not buying, I'm not buying,

I'm not buying their incentives, their lies,

Their empty promises -- just chains in disguise

-- while we let them steal away our very lives!

Tell me why there's still a 40 hour work week

While unemployment's on the rise?

Why do we keep overproducing

But still it's hard just to survive?

Why does "surplus" food rot

While hungry people die??

We're stripped of human dignity,

Forced to live in poverty,

Cuz in this land of the free

Our "freedom" is all fake.

We're wage slaves to the company,

Land slaves to the property,

And tax slaves to the economy

Of the capitalist state!

It's illegal to squat or live on the street,

But rent is extortion when you have to pay to sleep...

But I'm not buying it. ..

We're just endentured servants

Living on the master's land,

Serfs trying to buy back

Our freedom on the lay-away plan...

But I'm not buying, I'm not buying, I'm not buying
