Song 185!

lyrics

There's no hiding what remains
It's the violence in the chains

At every chance they misuse the memory
They'll smile to your face and claim you're free
They fit you with the chains they call "Liberty"
In star-spangled ignorance, you believe

Isn't this supposed to be the land of the free
Every time I look around, it never seems to be

It's not about sacrifice or how much you can save
It's about what you lost to make you feel safe
Collusion with coercion isn't being brave
In star-spangled ignorance you think you have a say

Isn't this supposed to be the home of the brave
But who's standing up to tear down the cage

Oh, say can you see
Oh, say can you see anything

Isn't this supposed to be the home of the brave
But who's standing up to tear down the cage
Isn't this supposed to be the land of the free
Every time I look around, it never seems to be
