lyrics

I could spend my whole life following you.
I could spend my whole life fighting
I could spend my every breath speaking for you
I could spend my whole life finding truth

the truth is in living up to your youth
make the world and see it for a new
they had me for a moment with their noose
and it was choking me
thought they'd never let it up
living was meant to be making this a better place
the past was meant for mistakes
its a lot of work to bring it back to what it was
when loving was the only thing they knew.

replace the laws
let us decide what to choose
you can’t cage the free men
who are freed from the truth

they put a stop in my eyes
so I can no longer see
that your hands are getting eager
scraping in my pockets for a little cash
we can spend our whole lives fighting
we’re not gonna die slaves
liberate the nation,
and you will free our generation

time is fleeting
it’s slowly creeping
I'm not gonna die a slave
I’m gonna leave this place
with a smile on my face
I know that nothing in this world is safe

I can’t believe you can follow along
like little children playing make believe
paper money and a tv screen
extorting children for your own greed
built houses the size of mountains
so you and your wife can breathe
pay the Mexican workers and their families
ten percent of their dying dreams
I spend my life on my own two feet
no paper money is gonna make me go
no paper money is gonna control
where my hands and my mind can’t go

replace our laws
let us decide what to choose
you can’t cage the free men
who are freed from the truth
