[Verse 1]
A victim of collision on the open sea
Nobody ever said that life was free
Sink, swim, go down with the ship
But use your freedom of choice
[Pre-Hook]
I'll say it again, in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Your freedom of choice
[Hook]
In ancient Rome, there was a poem
About a dog who found two bones
He picked at one, he licked the other
He went in circles, he dropped dead
[Post-Hook]
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 2]
Then if you got it, you don't want it
Seems to be the rule of thumb
Don't be tricked by what you see
You got two ways to go
[Pre-Hook]
I'll say it again, in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Freedom of choice
[Keyboard solo]
[Post-Hook]
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice
[Hook]
In ancient Rome, there was a poem
About a dog who found two bones
He picked at one, he licked the other
He went in circles, he dropped dead
[Outro, repeatedly]
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice
Is what you want
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice
Is what you want
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice
Is what you want
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice…
