Anthem

  D                  B            
A nation stands with heart in hand
    G                 A
 to sing their anthem proudly.
D                B               
Voices raised to sing their 
     G            A
praise of their hollow country.
D                B        G     
All this talk of freedom, and 
           A
this talk of liberty,
D                 B      G      
From your plastic podium you try
        A
 and convince me.

C       D    B  A    C        
I can't fall anymore for some 
D      B       A
silver-tounged song.
     C       D B   A     C      
Your freedom isn't free, so let 
   D B      A
me say what freedom means to--

D                                
I can't see red, white, and blue 
G             A
waving in the air.
D                B               
I don't hear the bombs bursting 
   G            A
and I don't even care.

    D            B                
I'm sorry for my lack of faith, 
  G                A
I'm not the greatest patriot.
D          B               G    
If this is all there is to 
           A
freedom I don't want it.

C       D    B  A    C        
I can't fall anymore for some 
D      B       A
silver-tongued song.
     C       D B   A     C      
Your freedom isn't free, so let 
   D B      A
me say what freedom means to--
D            B         G        
Pushing us a drug that you call 
A       G     A    B
freedom and democracy,
D               B      G         
Promiss us that selfishness is 
  A     G   A    B
the means for happiness.
D             B         G    A 
I burned that bridge so long 
       G     A      B
ago that I can hardly see,
D            B              G   
Anything but solace in what 
A   G     A  D
freedom means to me.

I can't fall anymore for some 
D      B       A
silver-tongued song.
     C       D B   A     C      
Your freedom isn't free, so let 
   D B      A
me say what freedom means to--
   D              B        G     
It cannot mean to serve 
       A       G      A B
ourselves, that doesn't mean a 
thing.
   D               B        G    
It doesn't mean to give the 
      A       G         A  B
license to seek ourselves in 
anything.
D             B    G  A  G    
That would be slavery to 
         A     B
ourselves, it isn't free.
D                 B    G         
Jesus Christ, the only thing that
 A   G   A     B  D
 freedom means to me.
