Land Of The Free… HA!
We live in country
that claims to be free
but each day that passes
it gets harder to see
government getting bigger
always cracking down
even society likes
to throw its weight around
our freedom of speech
falls on deaf ears
say something they don't like
and nobody hears
the right to our bodies
is not set in stone
just mention abortion
and they change their tone
how about drug use
medicinal or not
they even freak out
over a little goddamn pot
gambling online
whats the big deal
it may not be Vegas
but its got its appeal
the puritanical need
to control our lives
the hypocritical way they
believe their own lies
as long as we play
the game by their rules
just follow the herd
like a bunch of damn fools
pay all their taxes
pretend we have a voice
but when push comes to shove
we don't really have choice
all throughout history
we've fought to just be
and created this place
we call the --
land of the free…HA!

"Free," indeed...
Nice verse, BUT... actually, I was just on the receiving end of "freedom" when I discovered I couldn't set up a crypto merchant account for my store here in this state. Ooops... there went another freedom...
