[Verse 1]
You can't control me, tell me what to do
Chained in mediocrity so I can be like you
I am not a statue, not part of a machine
I'm sick and tired of the whole routine, yeah
[Verse 2]
Calculate your future, computerize your past
Instant replay if it's gone too fast
Take away my freedom, take away my home
I'm only human, but it might now show
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not made of stone
[Chorus]
I'm a freedom fighter
I got something to say
I'm a freedom fighter
Get out of my way
[Verse 3]
Hide behind your politics, hide behind your rules
Tell me I'm a man, but you treat me like a fool
It's the same old story with a different name
You give us all a number and nothing changes
[Verse 4]
Out in the winter of a world upon it's knees
Everyone is watching, but no one sees
You can't take my freedom, you know it is my right
If you try and stop me I'm gonna fight
[Pre-Chorus]
With all my might
[Chorus]
I'm a freedom fighter
And I'm taking command
I'm a freedom fighter
And I'm making a stand
[Bridge]
(Fighting for breath)
As the world gathers speed
(Time's running out)
For the things that I need, yeah, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
Out in the winter of a world upon it's knees
Everyone is watching, but no one sees
You can't take my freedom, you know it is my right
If you try and stop me I'm gonna fight
[Pre-Chorus]
With all my might
[Chorus]
I'm a freedom fighter
I got to take a stand
I'm a freedom fighter
Yeah, that's what I am
I'm a freedom fighter
I can't take it no more
I'm a freedom fighter
No, no more
I'm a freedom fighter
But I'm not afraid
I'm a freedom fighter
Get out of my way
