society's free


We are all free.                                                                                                                                          Well at least that what they tell me.                                                                                                    Society orders me to stand up                                                                                                              And let my voice be heard                                                                                                                      But then they shoot me down and filter my speech!                                                                               Why do you treat me this way?                                                                                                              Tell me why there are guideline to the things I may say.                                                                 Society you lied!                                                                                                                                    You said I was free                                                                                                                                   If this was true why are your shackles strangling me?                                                                              I want to be free                                                                                                                                       But why isnt MY free defined by me.
