Liberate Me
I SAY LIBERATE ME!
free me from a
bondage known all
too well
free me from those
chain-links felt way
too much
free me from a world
that's so out of
touch,even though it
manages to stay in
touch
free me from those
dungeons and allow
me to roam
roam like this
signal on my phone
that's holding me in
captivity with fees
I SAY LIBERATE ME!
liberate me from the
wonderful big
brother who looks
over each and every
one of us
the same big brother
that captures us
rebelling against
the stoplight and
before we can get
down the street and
around the corner
our tag is
photographed,
placing us in line
to receive notice
that a fine has to
be paid,cash,credit,
or debit; however
they can get it
PLEASE BRING ON THE
LIBERATION!
liberation from the
debt that's been
kept on the books
every since I
completed that
credit application,
at the time not
knowing that I was
applying
high-interest rates
to my budget, which
is no longer a
budget but a conduit
for companies having
fun extracting funds
from a paycheck
that's already
heartbreaking to
look at
Liberate me from the
from the
fines,fees,interest-rates,stoplights,nightlights,
the debt acquired
through a
misunderstanding of
APR policies, from
the policies
themselves imposed
by the powers that
be
I say,liberate me
