LAND OF THE FREE
So tell me are you filled with glee
When you consider how society
Has evolved into this nightmare
But are you even aware
That this is all because of thee
You and your passivity
It’s not easy to think something through
When leaders tell you what to do
You tend to stand up and do as they say
Your beloved high society considers astray
Anyone who might think it wrong
To suggest that the other doesn’t belong
In here and has to be considered antisocial
Rationality prevails, let’s do away with the emotional
In this modern society, so proper and pure
Shallow sheep wait for the dissidents to cure
Equality, how disastrous a notion
When it casts out freedom and emotion
How dull and insincere an idea indeed
When it’s all the same dreary people you meet
No ingenuity, all is similar and grey
Originality smothers in the do-what-they-say
Have you seen Thomas lately?
It’s been ages since I saw
This brave and unique genius
Is he finally done in by the law?
How cruel a fate would that be
He fought for his ideal
He didn’t mean any harm to you
He failed in his ordeal
It wasn’t ever meant to be
The pressure was too strong
But did he ever try to flee
The place where he belongs?
He’d rather die – he said to me
And so, it seems, he did
And now, in the name of liberty
All candles must be lit
Goodbye, defender of our cause
Your life was hard and tough
They won’t control us much longer now
Farewell, martyr of forbidden love!
