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