This is what it takes to be free  

I actually knows what it takes to be free.  
 
Go to crèche, go to school  
 
And then have a college degree.  
 
 
 

Pick a religion, go to church  
 
And listen to the sermon they preach.  
 
Be a man, be a women and never be anything else.  
 
 
 
Watch the news, cast your vote  
 
And follow the law  
 
Be part of the system.  
 
 
 
This is what it takes to be free.  
 
 
 
Have a phone, have social media,  
 
Be connected  
 
And get addicted to that thing.

 
 
 
Have a nine to five,  
 
Work for the rich, make them more filthy rich  
 
It's a salary we all need.  
 
 
 
Buy a mask, buy a gun  
 
And stay home when there's disease.  
 
Buy their expensive sneakers  
 
More shit we don't need  
 
And watch as our children get killed for them on the streets.  
 
 
 
Eat their GMO's they feed  
 
Eat their drugs  
 
It's no wonder we no longer can go to sleep.  
 
 
 
Then eat more drugs to combat  
 
Their initial drugs  
 
It's medication we need.  
 
 
 
A social disease  
 
This is what it costs to be free.
