about

Second single from this powerhouse, featuring special guest Gary Hodges on drums.

lyrics

They always want tell you it ‘s not easy to be free
They always say we know this is the best for you and me
Man I just gotta tell they speak a lot of jive in ¾ time
All the while doing their dirty little things that aren't mine

Their bullshit is only a grand illusion
Open your eyes and you will see
They will steal your mind if you let them suck it
Right out of you
Through your color TV

All the while they are breaking you down
Down to your knees
So get up and shout
Shout if you want to be free
People we have the power
To make these fuckers see
That you have a spirit
That yearns to be free

They separate us to the left and whisper to the right
Our team is the only one, the only one that’s right
To love one and other is the only way we need to be
Cause we are all together spinning on this blue ball in our galaxy

They like to take your money oh they just spread it around
To all their friends that drink from their cup of greed with their dirty mouth
They enjoy yeah they enjoy blowing up things
Using your sons and daughters for their evil deeds

Global enslavement is what they desire
While they run around the world starting fires
Brothers and sisters the time is running thin
You gotta to do your best to tell them
They are never gonna win

All the while they are breaking you down
Down to your knees
So get up and shout
Shout if you want to be free
People we have the power
To make these fuckers see
That you have a spirit
That yearns to be free
