Verse 1
Flag on the pole costs more than my rent
They swear the bill of rights was heaven-sent
Rights get revoked while the cameras roll
Every quiet citizen pays the toll
Pre-Chorus
They promise us gold
They promise us grace
Then they sell us a cage
Chorus
Land of the free
Who is free
Land of the free
Not me
Verse 2
Borders built out of borrowed steel
Sirens scream what the poor can feel
Smiling men shake a bloodstained hand
Hunger drafted while they watch from stands
Pre-Chorus
They promise us gold
They promise us grace
Then they sell us a cage
Chorus
Land of the free
Who is free
Land of the free
Not me
Post-Chorus
Free free
What a lie
Free free
Look me in the eye
Bridge
Soldiers born
Soldiers blamed
Soldiers buried
Soldiers named
March us out and march us home
Then leave the ones who never came
Chorus
Land of the free
Who is free
Land of the free
Not me
Chorus
Land of the free
Who is free
Land of the free
Not me
