Freedom

[Intro]
“The fight against the Taliban is certainly hotting up, an eleventh Australian soldier was killed on the weekend”
“The Australian government has promised…”

[Verse 1]
I need some water, I just walked another K
And if I don’t slaughter people then my mortgage isn’t paid
I’ve got a fuckin’ daughter on the way
And I have to see kids gettin’ tortured every day
Of course I am afraid, corpses are decayed
This ain’t like a video game a dork has ever played
No background music, no caution for grenades
The only time we pause is for a portion when we pray
This ain’t paradise, I can’t sit in a hammock
When every citizen’s an Islamic religious fanatic
Think of the damage innocent kids will be havin’
Yeah they’re gonna be twisted, I’m fuckin’ killin’ their parents
You think they will manage? You try stoppin’ this dirt
You got the balls to say “You’re havin’ problems at work”
How many people gotta be hurt? What is it worth?
The only way they’ll let me leave is in a coffin, the jerks

[Chorus 1]
So when you’re lyin’ asleep and you’re silently dreamin’
I’m in a Jeep tryna fight for your freedom
Each night I see the violence increasin’
I guess if I die, then I die for a reason
Huh, well where is my freedom?
Where is my freedom? Where is my freedom?
Now I gotta fight my demons, tell me
Where the fuck is my freedom?

[Verse 2]
It’s too hot. Can we ever stop, is it possible?
My only friend here just got shot at a hospital
It’s horrible, fuck knows if that finds you
I wish I was at Perth, stuck home with the Swine Flu
I don’t belong here, no, I’m a nice dude
It’s like I bought a bicycle and rode it through the drive-thru
I’ma die soon, I can sense it when I’m steppin’
In this blood stained sand where I vent for just a second
Pretendin’ that it’s fine, I’m protected by a weapon
But it’s gettin’ in my mind, I’m destined for defendin’
One day I’ll be a veteran on a recommended pension
Speakin’ at detention centres, givin’ kids a lesson
With medicine to help me sleep, surrender all my blues
Unless I’m ended now, beheaded by a troop
And another young soldier is sent into my shoes
I’ll be remembered by a thirty second segment on the news

[Chorus 1]
So when you’re lyin’ asleep and you’re silently dreamin’
I’m in a Jeep tryna fight for your freedom
Each night I see the violence increasin’
I guess if I die, then I die for a reason
Huh, well where is my freedom?
Where is my freedom? Where is my freedom?
Now I gotta fight my demons, tell me
Where the fuck is my freedom?

[Bridge]
Live or die, I gotta fight my demons, I guess I’ll never find my freedom
Live or die, I gotta fight my demons, I guess I’ll never find my freedom
Everyone’s screamin’, everyone’s bleedin’
Just for the reason to keep your freedom
I’ll fight for your freedom, I’ll die for your freedom
But I ain’t gonna lie, I would’ve liked to have freedom

[Chorus 2]
So when I’m tryin’ to sleep, but I can’t, ‘cause I’m freezin’
My rifle’s in reach, ‘cause they might try and sneak in
Every night, a child is screamin’
‘Cause I put a knife through his father, who’s bleedin’
Huh, so where is my freedom?
Where is my freedom? Where is my freedom?
Now I gotta fight my demons, I guess I’ll never find my freedom

[Outro]
“The fight against the Taliban is certainly hotting up, an eleventh Australian soldier was killed on the weekend”
“The Australian government has promised…”
“The Australian government has promised…”
“The Australian government has…”
