Freedom never was
All they said it would be
It was more like a distraction
A ghost we couldn’t see
They made the rules
They lit the torch
Made us fight
For mine and yours
And yet we stand here
Still wondering what it was all for
Because the word’s just a weapon
An oasis we’re forever reaching toward
A look at the landscape
Shows the damage done
The kings line their pockets
While the peasants stay on the run
