Mirage of Freedom

I have the freedom to speak as I may As long as I'm not in school when I pray As long as I'm not opposed to being gay And as long as your not offended with what I have to say I have the freedom of choice, it's my life As long as I don't try to end it with your knife As long as I am a woman and completely pro-life And as long as I chose a marriage between man and wife I have the freedom to believe what I might As long as I keep it out of your sight As long as I don't try to shed any of his light And as long as I don't believe that I'm actually right Freedom's a mirage so it only feels like it's there Try to use it and watch it evaporate in thin air Whatever you say or choose to believe Is just the mirage of freedom, placed there, to deceive
