[Verse 1]
Do you see what I see? Truth is an offense
You silence for your confidence
Do you hear what I hear? Doors are slamming shut
Limit your imagination, keep you where they must
Do you feel what I feel? Bittering distress
Who decides what you express?
Do you take what I take? Endurance is the word
Moving back instead of forward seems to me absurd
[Pre-Chorus]
Doesn't matter what you see
Or intuit what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say
[Chorus]
Independence limited
Freedom of choice is made for you, my friend
Freedom of speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception
[Verse 2]
Do you fear what I fear? Living properly
Truths to you are lies to me
Do you choose what I choose? More alternatives
Energy derives from both the plus and negative
Do you need what I need? Boundaries overthrown
Look inside, to each his own
Do you trust what I trust? Me, myself and I
Penetrate the smoke screen, I see through the selfish lie
[Pre-Chorus]
Doesn't matter what you see
Or intuit what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say
[Chorus]
Independence limited
Freedom of choice is made for you, my friend
Freedom of speech is words that they will bend
Freedom with their exception
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Do you know what I know? Your money and your wealth
You silence just to hear yourself
Do you want what I want? Desire not a thing
I hunger after independence, lengthen freedom's ring
[Pre-Chorus]
Doesn't matter what you see
Or intuit what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say
[Chorus]
Independence limited
Freedom of choice is made for you, my friend
Freedom of speech is words that they will bend
Freedom no longer frees you
[Outro]
Doesn't matter what you see
Or intuit what you read
You can do it your own way
If it's done just how I say
