I JUST WANT TO BE FREE
FREE FROM A CONTRACT THAT I DIDN'T SIGN FOR
I DON'T WANT THIS PRICE ON ME
I WANT THE SAME THING MANY HAVE DIED FOR
PLEASE JUST ALLOW ME TO BE FREE
I REALLY WANNA RIP UP THE TERMS OF AGREEMENT
MOST OF YOU WON'T HAVE HEARD, IT'S A SECRET
I'M AN EMPLOYEE THAT'S YEARNING MY FREEDOM

---

ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU
BUT WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY
...IF ONLY THEY GAVE US A CHOICE
ANOTHER ONE WHERE I'M RAISING MY VOICE
TO LET YOU KNOW WE'VE ALL BEEN MAJORLY BOYED
LOCKED IN A CONTRACT WE AIN'T AGREED TO
..I WANNA BE A FREE MAN, I'M TIRED OF
BEING A PERSON MAN HAVE ATTACHED A FEE TO
...WHERE CAN I FLEE TO? I WANNA BE A FREE YOUT
I BEEN IN THE WORKFORCE EVER SINCE PRE-SCHOOL
AND IF YOUR BIRTH GOT CERTIFIED THEN UNDERSTAND
IT'S YOU THAT I SPEAK TO
THE TV'S MENTALLY CLEANED YOU
DIRTY TACTICS, AND THEY USED 'EM ON ME TOO
IT'S ONLY IN THE LAST FEW DAYS I'VE LEARNT A FEW THINGS
THAT I NOW WANNA TEACH YOU
SEE YOUR PERSON'S OWNED BY THE STATE
IF THEY MAINTAIN THEIR WAY THEN THEY'RE GONNA KEEP YOU
YOU CAN MOVE AROUND, IT'S SAID THAT YOU'RE FREE TO..
SO EXPLAIN RED TAPE'S EXISTENCE
CAN'T SEE THE REASONS, I MUSTA MISSED 'EM
STUCK IN THE SYSTEM BUT I'M NOT TRAPPED
IT'S NOT THAT, THE STATE'S GOT A HOLD OF MY FREEDOM
AND I PLAN TO TAKE THAT BACK

---

I CAN'T SIT 'ERE AND STAY PASSIVE
I'M A HUMAN BEING, NOT AN ASSET
SO WITH THAT SAID WHY SHOULD I HAVE IT
NOT LEAST WHEN THE OFFENCE IS SO MASSIVE
...WE WALK AROUND ON INVISIBLE LEADS
ALL AS A RESULT OF THIS DEED
YOU THINK I CHAT SHIT, GO AND HAVE A READ AND A WATCH
AND YOU'LL QUICKLY SEE THAT I'M NOT
I SALUTE THE INDIVUDUALS LEAKING THE PLOT
IT REALLY IS REEKING A LOT
BUT FOR THE MAJORITY THIS STATE'S DONE A GREAT JOB
TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE KEEPING 'EM LOST
THEY ATTACHED ME TO A PERSON, I CURSE 'EM
THEY'RE NO BETTER THAN A THIEF IN A SHOP
AND IT'S NOT JUST ME THAT'S BEEN CHIEFED, IT'S A LOT
THEY MIGHT WELL BE BELIEVING THEY'RE GODS..
IF YOU THINK I'M SPEAKING A LOT JUST LET ME
I AIN'T SAYING YOU MUST GET ME
YOU GET ME, I'M ONLY MAKING THE POINT THAT
THIS WHOLE MALARKY'S NOTHING BUT EFFERY
...AND IT'S UPSET ME
SO I PUT MY ANGER IN A TUNE
BEFORE I BREAK THESE CHAINS WHAT I CAN'T SEE
I NEED TO WORK OUT THE ANGLE I'MA USE

(I SHOULD PROBABLY JUST KNOW MY PLACE
(repeat)
I SHOULD PROBABLY JUST SLOW MY PACE

BUT CERTAIN TIMES I GOTTA HOLD MY FACE

REASON BEING THAT OUR GOVERNORS DON'T QUITE RATE
