lyrics

Freedom? Where we gonna find
Freedom? How we gonna find
Freedom? Where we gonna find
Freedom? How we gonna find
Freedom?
And what’re we gonna do when we get it?
Think for yourself.
But be like everyone else.
Look, but don’t touch.
Stand up for what’s right, but not too much.
Raise your voice, but be advised
The Revolution will be televised.
Stay connected, ‘cause you’re expected
To be politically correct.
Freedom? Where we gonna find
Freedom? How we gonna find
Freedom? Where we gonna find
Freedom? How we gonna find
Freedom?
And what’re we gonna do when we get it?
Being free seems nice,
But are we willing to pay the price?
For the freedom we say we want and need and promise not to feed our hate and greed.
But the seed is sown, the weed is grown, the chances blown, as we cry and moan.
Looking for our Final Solution, to all our political pollution.
But what about after the revolution when the powers that be are now you and me?
Will we face the truth about our case?
Submit to Allah, and respect the human race?
Or use our power every hour to devour from a computerized ivory tower?
Well, maybe it’s assimilation?
Revolutionary masturbation?
‘Cause the truth you’ll find will chill you to the bone
that political power sits behind the throne.
Just be careful we don’t end up a slave
to a false-freedom we convinced ourselves we crave!
I don’t know about you but I want to find truth in this would and peace of mind.
I want to be free as much as you; but what do we want to be free to do?
‘Cause it’s fashionable to be a pawn
as battle lines are being drawn.
Set up like a bowling pin: knocked down, nobody wins.
As we learn to hate one another.
You want to fight Big Brother, or be Big Brother?
You want to fight Big Brother, or be Big Brother?
You want to fight Big Brother, or be Big Brother?

Because on the day that the sky will be rent in twain,
The oceans will boil and swell,
The armies and empires will cower abased,
The moon and stars will fall from their place,
The babies will rise from their graves and ask for what crime they were killed,
And the heavens and earth will be rolled up like a scroll,
Then every soul
Shall know
What it has done with its
Freedom! Where we gonna find
Freedom? How we gonna find
Freedom? Where we gonna find
Freedom? How we gonna find
Freedom?
And what’re we gonna do when we get it?
