Born Free 02:50
This sign on my back don't mean social collapse; It simply means I'm self employed. You can find me with a beer or a bong in my hand, Singing "I'll see you in Hell, boys!" These many offenses I'm convicted of Don't strike me as the criminal type Civil dissent was bonded to me by the Fathers who drafted my rights. There's no politics about it Or religion behind it I'm the master of my own domain There's a girl in the streets being raped by police, And this comes as no big surprise. Those badges and guns are supposed to come With justice and freedom in mind. So officer, you watch what you say Or I won't pay my taxes this year! 'Cause I'm sick of crime and all of the lies; I'm sick of existing in fear! There's no politics about it Or religion behind it; I'm the master of my own domain! You cannot arrest me, Because I was born free And unto my ancestors' pain! Give me the war budget, just for a day! I'd spend it on cocktails, and lighters and spray! Ask if the boys can come outside to play; We'll celebrate the day! In our plain clothes, exposed For the whole world to see! We'll smile and wave as we stroll down the streets And every Capitol building we see, rendered obsolete! There's no politics about it Or religion behind it! I'm the master of my own domain! You cannot arrest me, Because I was born free, And unto my ancestors pain! So give me my first all the way to my tenth, I'm guaranteed to exercise All the rights that I've got and the power I've not I'm fighting to get back my life!

Thank you for protecting me From all the violence that I witness Daily on my television screen--- My briefcase when I arrive at work My laptop just might be a bomb We don't want anybody getting hurt. Thank you for keeping me clean Without your loving, watchful eye things Might find their way into my bloodstream And thank you for thinking of me Involuntarily included In your skewed idea of liberty! I'm so relieved, this weight is off my chest. Good and evil now defined By the States' elected best! Thank you for the criminal youth Whose only means of making cash Are stealing cars and selling hash Ten years old and out on the street, Her parents went bankrupt From those RIAA fees Und danke fur Auschwitz, Das atombommbe und Agent Orange All to protect my best interests. And thank you for all this debt My grandchildrens' lives signed away But I trust you; ya told me not to fret And I'd like to thank the cops For coming to the show tonight Ironically armed to the teeth to prevent fights What's that badge? More like a shielded chip Your shoulders can't support the weight Of all your lies and tricks I now declare A war against the fear With which you choke your followers The boiling point is near The reaction takes place Proliferating through Das Kapitol And burning all the liars, theives and snakes! We'll bite the hand that feeds! Last fucking thing we need! We'll bite the hand that feeds!

The Mexicans have landed ocne again They don't have time for friends There's something strange about siesta time Production don't decline When you're on Methamphetamine It's hard to relax when there's a deal on the line! Their business started small Bought you out right quick Those shiny pesos, they looked pretty slick! Laptops and cell phones And three summer homes They're sipping on lattes, you sleep in the cold! These days the dollar's been going down More than Tiger Woods The odds, they aren't looking so good In a black Escalade, Sunglasses Jose He politely asks,"Yo, you wanna job mang?"

Killing is our future if killing is our past Killing is our future if killing is our past I know I'm not God Killing is our future if killing is our past Killing is our future if killing is our past I know I'm not God It seems there's some who think they are Is it more noble to want peace, Or fight and die for your beliefs?
