Freedom Is the Cost -- America Freedom --

We have lost our way in self-preservation for American dream.
Expecting more and more to be given by government it does seem.
Working for the dream and needs that we desire is lost.
Freedom is the cost.

We take not our job or career as what we must do to survive.
When we fail we expect government to bail us out or revive.
We seem to have no craving at all, our spirits, we have exhaust.
Freedom is the cost.

We continue to allow our statesman’s to be elected by corporate sway.
We continue to lose our freedom of religious rights beyond this very day.
Every person in the world seems to be experiencing social sexual accost.
Freedom is the cost.

We need to take back our country away from big business tax breaks.
We the people could buy back our country from foreign countries stakes.
We are allowing the government to be our sole factor as we are crossed.
Freedom is the cost

Each day we continue on this path that we allow such things.
We will not be able to rant and rave of what our future brings.
Our dreams, desires and our children’s shall be tossed.
Freedom is the cost.
