Freedom Is

(Intro) D,C,D,C

D            C
Home of the braves, Land of the 
free,
    D                   C
Where "freedom of choice" just means
 Coke OR Pepsi...
D
But I'm not buying it.

      D                        
They say if you're not working, 
 C
You're just wasting away,
      D                    C
"Employment gaps look bad on your 
resume"...
      D
But I'm not buying, I'm not buying.

D                       Db       
I'm not buying their incentives, 
             F#
Their lies, their empty promises --

     G           D           Db  
Just chains in disguise --  While
           B
 we let them steal away our very 
lives!

                D                  
Tell me why there's still a 40-hour
Db                   B
 work week, While unemployment's on 
the rise?
                      D         
Why do we keep overproducing but 
              Db                  B
still it's hard just to survive?
             D                   
Why does "surplus" food rot while 
    Db              B
hungry people die??

(Repeat Intro) X2
          D
We're stripped of human dignity, 
Forced to live in poverty,

Cuz in this land of the free our 
'freedom' is all fake.

We're wage slaves to the company,  
Land slaves to the property,
                            B
And tax slaves to the economy of the
 capitalist state!
         D               C
It's illegal to squat or live on the
 street,
      D                     C
But rent is extortion when you have 
to pay to sleep...
D
But I'm not buying in.

        D                C
We're just indentured servants, 
Living on the master's land,
          D               C
Serfs trying to buy back our freedom
 on the lay-away plan...
D
But I'm not buying, I'm not buying,

I'm not buying.
