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
