Rules of Freedom Lyrics by First Blood

Rules

2017

What do we want? Freedom
What do we need? Freedom
United for our freedom
And fighting for our freedom
Can't deny our freedom
Won't deny our freedom
Is this what they call freedom?
Then what the fuck is freedom now?!
It's about time we take a step back
And revisit the definition
Of what is meant by freedom
What will you do when you finally
Realize the contradictions?
And the rug on which you slumber
Torn right out from under
When and where our freedom died
"How could you dare to even question this?"
Gets repeated to no end
Now you're hated, berated, because you desecrated
What others fought and died to defend
But now, another vicious cycle
That never seems to end
How many more shootings and beatings
Must keep on repeating over and over and over again?
What's becoming impossible: peaceful protest
For us to exercise our freedom
Are you surprised by the violent revolution?
When denied our freedom!
Stand up and take a good look around you
This struggle for freedom
Stop supporting those who do not give a fuck
About you, you and your rights, your freedom
Wake up! Do you feel like you are represented?
Or becoming overcome with rage
Are you free in so far as you are not
Locked up inside a fucking cage?
Stand up for your freedom now!
(This is what they think)
"You are free to do what you are told"
(This is how they feel)
Free to consume the lies that you are sold
How could you dare
How could you dare to even question this?
As the rug on which you slumber
Torn right out from under
Wake one day and wonder
When and where your freedom died
To wake one day and wonder
When and where our freedom died
Freedom died
When and where our freedom died
To wake one day and wonder
When and where our freedom died
