Freedom's just a word today, freedom's just a word When someone takes your word away, it's seldom ever heard So take a sentence full of things you're not supposed to say Carry on, but don't write 'em down, or you'll be gone Love is just a song today, love is just a song When someone takes the song away, you seldom sing along So take those lyrics serious and sing your life away Carry on, but don't write 'em down, or they'll be gone All we ever do is talk; we like to ride, but we never walk We make it so damn easy, we get bored Why can't anybody see, what's good for you is good for me? I can't take your silly world I can't take your silly world no more Peace is just two fingers now, peace was just a face When someone put it on a shirt, you knew to count the days So take those fingers, tape 'em up, and shove 'em up your ass And carry on, but don't try it now, 'cause peace is gone All we ever do is talk; we like to ride, but we never walk We make it so damn easy, we get bored Why can't anybody see, what's good for you is good for me? I can't take your silly world I can't take your silly world no more We fight our instincts We go to extremes We fight our instincts We go to extremes We fight our lives We fight our lives We fight our lives We fight our lives We fight our lives We fight our lives We fight our lives We fight our We fight our lives We fight our lives We fight our lives We fight our lives We fight our lives We fight our lives
