Caged Freedom

Land of the free
Home of the brave
But this is reality
We are enslaved
We work to the bone
To feed the rich
Left stranded alone
To cry and bitch
Divided we are
By the powers that be
Land of the bizarre
Prisoners of society
We're taxed forever
And nothing is free
Inflation is clever
More corporate greed
Government kickbacks
And back pocket deals
We cant backtrack
Our freedom they steal
They spread their lies
And pretend to care
But it's just a disguise
Leaving us with despair
Living off crumbs
Our minds enraged
Caged freedom becomes
False lies they staged
