Liberty
V1
They're crushing our resistance to make way for a Corporatocracy
They're building ivory towers to rule over you and me
We protest on the city streets but they don't care cos they can't see
The hunger in the people's hearts where freedom used to be
Chorus 1
Oh Liberty
Running away from me
V2
They make all their decisions without talking to you and to me
They've paved a line of car parks and cut down all of our trees
They'll rip and cut and frack and burn and profit while the whole world bleeds
And tell us that we're doing fine with money and a forty inch TV
Chorus 2
Oh Liberty
Running away from me
Raise your voice and sing with me
Oh sweet liberty.
V3
Well freedom is a precious thing it belongs to you and to me
The greatest gift that's in our hearts Is our yearning to be free
But freedom can't be bought or sold like some cheap commodity
So rise up now and hear my song and sing for your liberty
Chorus 3
Oh Liberty
Running away from me
Raise your voice and sing with me
Oh sweet liberty.
