The Edge of Freedom

We are lead by words Our thoughts altered We are made to believe That what we do is right We are a mass Not ! Individuals We are told we are free We are given rights We must live by rules We must work to survive But....... We are free We must pay for our bills We must pay for our lives We must pay for our children We pay for our wives We pay for war and the weapons we use We pay for death with our lives But....... We are free A number to them is all that we are We can sell our bodies both inside and out To pay our way along freedoms route But....... We are free If we are sick and terminal and ask to die We won't pull the plug Your freedom we deny But yet....... We are free Your free to do whatever you may choose But if you can't pay Your freedom you lose But yet....... We are free To live, love and pay And to ultimately enjoy Freedom's decay Eric (and sometimes not)
