Stand Up For Our Freedom

I got drunk by my self last night There was just nothing else to do I told myself that itll be alright If I could just get that memory out of sight My eyes are half closed From staring down the sun I’ve been down in the dumps I’ve had a lot of intoxicating fun And I’m here to tell you That life goes on No matter what happens No matter how much you hurt come dawn Remember that hangovers are only temporary No matter how much they hurt Sometimes you won’t be able To have memories of which you revert The fun is what Drinking is all about Remember that yourself You should never doubt Instead of drinking in sorrow And self pity Get drunk with some girls Who are kind of pretty If the good looking ones won’t accompany In your quest for intoxication There are always the desperate In this great nation Sex is a symbol Which has made America fine Naked bodies So sensually entwined We are a country Now based on rules Created by the greed Of those political fools Our rights shall be taken With the swiftness of the wind We will not even know For our perception has thinned We no longer appreciate Our gift to be free And our forefathers Would most likely agree We need to stop and rewind What has our country came to I think alteration Is far overdue We need to remember What the armed forces died for Now More and more Disgracefully we are becoming More concerned about police force What has our country came to? Shouldn’t we feel at least some remorse? Pay attention to the news And you shall see That this proud country Is not what it used to be What have we done? Is there any way to defend our rights? There is You’ve just got to fight For you must make a stand This is our home land We mustn’t have empathy About this subject at hand Those who have the power to take action Have the responsibility to do so Meaning the tyranny on the horizon We must overthrow If we wait too long We shall face monarchy Yet rules must be made For we need not anarchy Remember what life Is all about Freedom is something We must now bail out So stand up Be proud And in unity Say aloud We will not fade into the night We will not Be taken without a fight We’ve done it before We must do it again Once more our freedom Calls for our duty to defend
