Analysis of Freedom Isn't Free



Everybody says freedom
I don't understand it
We hate who tells lies
But we killed who is candid
The Vietnam vets feeling
Nothing but stranded
Drugs fly in each day
Who's the pilot that manned it
We put coca in soda
Then we all banned it
The kids they don't work
What they get you must hand it
Everybody says freedom
I don't understand it
You can't take it for granted
You got to demand it
