Free to be unfree This plan was made for you and me You're not really free If you don't think for yourself They say we're free in America Well freedom may be there for some But you're not free at all If you don't think for yourself They tell you what you've got to do They say you have a right to choose Just as long as you choose To be like everyone else They say to hell will go your soul If you don't live the way you're told But your soul is not your own If you don't live for yourself They say be a good girl or boy Mold you like a plastic toy A pawn to push around A plastic pawn to serve them well Free to be unfree This plan was made for you and me You're not really free If you don't think for yourself Assigned a number when you're born Punished if you don't conform Conditioned to behave Conditioned to be a slave Sent to government school all day Where the government shapes your brain To do what you are told Be someone they can control They say that college is the way So you'll have debts you have to pay Trade your live for a wage Run you like rats in a maze You don't have to blindly follow You can chew before you swallow Live your life for yourself Break your chains and free yourself Land of the free Home of the brave Where you're taught To be a slave A plastic pawn they can control Push you forward until you're old Follow instructions Sit quietly at your desk Move when the bell rings Fit in with everyone else Line up single file Move when we tell you to go Look straight ahead Your future is ours to control Don't stand out Don't rock the boat Reproduce And keep your lawn mowed Now sit in your cubicle Until you're 65 Then sit quietly at home Until you die

Crime, violence, poverty Exist now as in history If these things could be solved They would have been solved long ago Politicians claim that they have answers You believe them, give them money and power Why must you all be so blind? Everyone knows that politicians lie Political leaders claim they have answers To problems that have no solutions You believe them, they manipulate you No solution No solution Why must you all be so blind? Everyone knows that politicians lie You fall for their tricks again and again You celebrate when your party wins Their lust for powers is so easy to see You give it to them when you believe You give it to them when you vote So easily duped, it's a sick joke
