The Liberty You Live For

THE LIBERTY YOU LIVE FOR

The liberty you live for
Is a chain around your neck
Swallow hard you feel it's tightening grip

From slavery to servitude
You're much more of a wreck
Just harder to feel the sinking of the ship

You thought you were the child of a king
A prince with just about everything
You've been duped by half lies
Trusting your own alibis

The hangman holds the scaffold rope
Waiting for the sign
One small step and the knot will slip

Till you figure out your best jokes
Won't earn another set
You'll stand there with a trembling lip

You thought you were the child of a king
A prince with just about everything
You've been duped by half lies
Trusting your own alibis

The confidence you come by
Is a way for you to cope
With the demon-claws underneath your skin

So go buy a new umbrella
The sky is bellowing smoke
Hold on tight . . . here comes the wind . . .

You thought you were the child of a king
A prince with just about everything
You've been duped by half lies
Trusting your own alibis
