Freedom Is a Lie
You are free until you speed and get caught
and the payment starts on the no money down car you bought
You are free until your credit card is declined
and as long as your friends who pick up the tab don't mind
You are free until rent is due and you are behind
until you can no longer debit and credit is denied
You are free until you work a 9-5
and your monthly pay check does little more than help you survive
You are free till you succumb to a vice
and your spare time is taken up by having to suffice
