Fear is in the air thats the way they want it to be
"Don't trust friends or neighbors everyone's your enemy!"
Kidnapped children on tv fear runs through the family
They'll put a chip in your arm.
Keeping track of where you are.
with all of this technology have we come so far?
It's easy to get lost, forget who you are
Don't forget that your born free
It's better to die on your feet
than to live on your knees
People are so greedy, it's almost funny
How many ways can they ruin lives for money?
I see the choice to enjoy the truth in life
In the middle of all this deceit and strife
A nation's future stands in doubt
Peace and love are on the way out
Why can't they just let me be?
How I live is up to me
Don't forget that your born free
It's better to die on your feet
than to live on your knees
We get the message loud and clear
we refuse to live in fear!
