lyrics

Free Thought

Chorus:

Free thought boy
you can take it
if you wanna
shy girl
but I say what i gotta
sick of eating each other
out here like piranha
waiting on your bail money
hanging on your mama


I might be cynical
but i got a swirl of optimism
I'm not so typical
but not a fuck is given
always been talking critical
about the complicated
world we living
and questioning their power
could get you
slapped down quick
unsustainable grip
our lives gonna slip
teach us
just enough to work
not enough to know our worth
meek shall inherit the earth
but we stay digging wells
we can't even drink from
like we been doing math
without the sum

Chorus

1+1= 3
do you agree?
free thought
free speech
till power say its not
and your words breach
their authority
freedom over everything
the sound of discontent
you can hear it
what we bring
is why they fear it
self disciplined
and we playing
that chess board
asking ourselves
what is the stress for?
If rent is theft and
money is a lie
we still feel all this
hunger inside
we kept our head
above the water
but below the grass.

Chorus

Our broken down empathy
got us in a rut
the system got us
not giving a fuck
about another
chained together
connected
swim together
drown each other
feeling disrespected
I ain't trusting
the powers that be
the powers that been
free thought
we can be better than
change or culture
cause it aint built to last
in the name of security
they kill your ass
where there is love
there is life
and that is worth
fighting for
some say
something like
amore

Chorus
