Labor force ditty

the thing I want more than anything is freedom
the thing I want more than anything is time
the thing I want more than anything
is for no man to pull upon my string
the thing I want more than anything is freedom

the thing that is hardest of all to wield is freedom
you may find you run back to structure in no time
you find that you walk in an open field
with no one before you to take the lead
the thing that is hardest of all to wield is freedom

the thing that costs more than anything is freedom
to get it you must invest great amounts of time
the price of freedom is up these days
by the friends and family with whom you part ways
the thing that costs more than anything is freedom

Though I have no visual attached for this, it popped up into my head as a song sun by a sort of Popeye-style cartoon of men mining in a quarry. Weird.
