Let freedom ring

Let freedom ring
I'm still waiting
we got more generations of bloody oppression
than generations as a nation
choking on my own frustration, consternation
invocation
Rise up and grab your arms
what they gone do?
They cross that line, they're sure to find
a soldier and a cop are citizens too
and if they ain't
oppress their own and defend them cannibals
let them meet a traitors fate

Let freedom ring
peaceful resistance is always preferred
but just ask Al Qaeda, guns and bombs will get ya heard
what's the difference
according to Homeland Security Greenpeace and Islamic radicals have a
natural co-habitation
Yeah, cause hippy chicks like hanging with the Taliban
and if you buy that shit
you might just buy the Arab boogie man

Let freedom ring
torture was not in the declaration
they love to quote Reagan
so quote how he was proud our nation didn't harass it's
citizens for identification
National I.D. card, papers please - despotic incarnations
4th of July
they selling apple pie and patriotic lead coated flags
made in China by a child
call it communist China, where's the communism?
They selling shit too, see Asia rising
buying debt and taking names
watch her beat these Wall street motherfuckers
at their own
market games

Let freedom ring
capitalism and democracy do not coincide
in fact they often collide
when freedom interferes with maximum profit
fuck the rules, change the game
legislators are purchased
legal departments writing laws
Yes, that squeezing painful sensation,
is your balls

Let freedom ring
like a pimp slap across the bible belt
worried about gay marriage and evolution
instead of blood, wars, and destruction of the
constitution
Jesus would call you stupid
trees - meet the forest
Gump, T.N.T., C.B.S. - maybe the problem is all
that corporate sponsored television
they ingest
AOL, CNN, MTV, and Fox News
that shit is enough to give anyone the blues

Let freedom ring
hello America
there's nothing left to say
if Bush and Cheney's lies and treason
don't motivate you to rise up
and retake your nation
then the freedom bell is broken
and I'm not sure what to do
but down south soldiers never give up
I'm looking for my glue, and my tape
to hold this shit together
until a new generation can arise
one that's got some balls, and some eyes that can see
through the haze of Nike shoes, Beyonce, and American Idol
and will say
Hey Mr. Politician - I don't give a fuck about your views on
flag burning and family values
the world is burning
children starve and die
wars are raging
and the elderly, and the children are the ones who need saving
not the sinners
and the Arabs are right
If you invaded our country we would sing
"By the rockets red glare", as RPG's light the night

Let freedom ring
we can do it like Ghandi
park our ass in Washington sit down and do nothing
no work, no shopping
show congress who really got the purse strings
hard to fund repression with no taxes
if the police don't go to work who will stop the rally
let freedom ring
rain down justice rolling thunder
when the people get together
they can accomplish wonders
