lyrics

I don’t sing a love song
I don’t sing a lullaby
I don’t sing a pop song

I’m not a manipulator
I don’t sell snake oil
I’m not in it for my self

And that is why I fail
And that is why I fail
In their eyes

In their eyes
That is why I fail

All honesty dies
In a world that
Values success

All honesty dies
In a world that
Values success

I wish a word could open their eyes
I wish a word could open their eyes
I wish a song could show them reality

Most of them will stay in the mud
Most of them will stay in the mud

Most of them will build their own prison
Most of them will build their own prison

Most of them will only see me as a fool
Most of them will only see me as a fool

Telling them, gold is poison
Telling them, gold is poison
Telling them, gold is poison
Telling them, fame is an anaesthetic
Telling them, fame is an anaesthetic
Telling them, success is failure
Telling them, success is failure
Telling them, success is failure

Better to be a fool that tried
Then one who stayed silent

Better to be a fool that tried
Then one who stayed silent

And so I shall sing this song
To reveal the lie that they believe
To reveal the lie they tell
To reveal the lie they tell their children

Freedom is not wealth
Freedom is not fame
Freedom is not success

Freedom is not wealth
Freedom is not fame
Freedom is not success

And so I shall sing this song
To open their eyes
To show them reality
To show them reality
Reality, reality, reality

Freedom is to be active
Freedom is to be active
Freedom is to choose your own path
Freedom is to choose your own path

I can sing this song
I can sing this song
But only you can set your self free

I can sing this song
But only you can set your self free

I can sing this song
But only you can set your self free

I can sing this song
But only you can set your self free

To believe all can be free
Even against all odds
Shall be my creed
