The Long Arm
The Long Arm is reaching for you
Wants to wrest and take control
It struck down your family
Now it's aimin' for your soul
It's grasp is filled with hate
It's fingers are naught but fear
White knuckled, it grips you
Til your eyes fill with tears
We fight for freedom, freedom
For poetry and song
We fight for actors and authors
It's them artists who make us strong
The Long Arm took our planet
Down our throats, it done rammed
The promise of unification
But it left us all damned
Laid waste to our landscape
While its pockets grew fat
Left us homeless and cold
Now it's time we fight back
We fight for freedom, freedom
For poetry and song
We fight for painters and potters
It's them artists who make us strong
We're done running from the Long Arm
Browncoats rise again
We'll weaken your grip
And the stories that you spin
Like you done with all your lies
That you packed in your fist
Well you ain't seen the truth yet
Till you seen us resist
We fight for freedom, freedom
For poetry and song
We fight for dancers and dreamers
It's them artists who make us strong
We fight for freedom, freedom
For poetry and song
We fight for laborers and learners
It's you who make us strong
Wants to wrest and take control
It struck down your family
Now it's aimin' for your soul
It's grasp is filled with hate
It's fingers are naught but fear
White knuckled, it grips you
Til your eyes fill with tears
We fight for freedom, freedom
For poetry and song
We fight for actors and authors
It's them artists who make us strong
The Long Arm took our planet
Down our throats, it done rammed
The promise of unification
But it left us all damned
Laid waste to our landscape
While its pockets grew fat
Left us homeless and cold
Now it's time we fight back
We fight for freedom, freedom
For poetry and song
We fight for painters and potters
It's them artists who make us strong
We're done running from the Long Arm
Browncoats rise again
We'll weaken your grip
And the stories that you spin
Like you done with all your lies
That you packed in your fist
Well you ain't seen the truth yet
Till you seen us resist
We fight for freedom, freedom
For poetry and song
We fight for dancers and dreamers
It's them artists who make us strong
We fight for freedom, freedom
For poetry and song
We fight for laborers and learners
It's you who make us strong
