Five Iron Frenzy - Anthem Lyrics
A nation stands with heart in handTo sing their anthem proudlyVoices raised to sing their praiseOf their hollow countryAll this talk of freedomAnd some talk of libertyFrom your plastic podiumYou try and convince meI can't fall anymoreFor some silver-tongued songYour freedom isn't freeSo let me say what freedom means toI can's see red, white, and blue waving in the airI don't hear the bombs bursting and I don't even careI'm sorry for my lack of faithI'm not the greatest patriotIf this is all their is to freedom I don't want itI can't fall anymoreFor some silver-tongued songYour freedom isn't freeSo let me say what freedom means toPushing us a drug that you call freedom and democracyPromise us that selfishness is the means for happinessI burned that bridge so long ago that I can hardly seeAnything but solace in what freedom means to meI can't fall anymoreFor some silver-tongued songFreedom isn't freeSo let me say what freedom means toIt cannot mean to serve ourselvesThat doesn't mean a thingIt doesn't mean to give the licenseTo seek ourselves in anythingThat would be slavery to ourselves it isn't freeJesus Christ, the only thing that freedom means to me.
