[Verse 1]
Looking for a cure within the human race
Eliminate the poor, how much longer will it take
Burning up the tents of the rank and file
Exterminate their lives, crack a demon smile
[Pre-Chorus]
Crushing down, caving in our will to live
Getting rid of man's mistakes
To take a lost life, lock it up, break it down
How much more can we take?
[Chorus]
Fight for freedom, fight authority
Fight for anything, my country 'tis of me
[Verse 2]
Cry for absolution, it's not the end for me
A last minute pardon, one final reprieve
Resist the war machine, don't get in it's path
Fight to die a free man and reap the aftermath
[Pre-Chorus]
Crushing down, caving in our will to live
Getting rid of man's mistakes
To take a lost life, lock it up, break it down
Don't know how much more I can take
[Chorus]
Fight for freedom, fight authority
Fight for anything, my country 'tis of me
[Guitar Solo: Marty Friedman]
[Bridge]
Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight
[Chorus/Outro]
Fight for freedom, fight authority
Fight for anything, it's my country
Fight for freedom, fight authority
Fight for anything, my country 'tis of me
