lyrics

Do you feel free?
Or do you feel trapped inside the wall
a body meaningless and small
Amidst a neverending fall
does that feel good?

O say can you see
the lingering wisp of history
& fabled taunts of liberty?
can you do all the things you need
to feel like you should?

Is this the way?
What did our forefathers say
A string of empty 8-hour days
With taxes near half of whatever it pays
countless commercials to eat at our brains
‘til they feel like wood?

& what can we do?
Examine the words that are put before you
Demand something greater than things that are new
or fall for the bribe & be factory glue
it's just up to you
it's still up to you
Whatever you do
They're calling for you
Whatever you do
it's still up to you...

So what do you think
Is it worth a bit of the time to link
the words of the past to us here on the brink?
can you conceive more than this lingering stink?
I think you could.
i wish you would.
I think you could.
