This Funny Thing Called Freedom

THIS FUNNY THING CALLED 
FREEDOM 

time has a funny way of making 
people into liars 
 it endorses corporate America a 
smoking gun out for hire

home of the censored and shredded 
constitution 
 programmed drones in a 
manipulative institution 

heil hitler to the flag is what really is 
implied 
 freedom from tyranny and 
oppression is pretty much a lie 

"YES WE CAN!" was the change that 
never did occur 
 its the flea who ****ed the whale!? 
but are you really sure??
 the funny thing is that in this crazy 
little twist 
 you just might think youre free when 
the handcuff hits your wrist
