Liberty
How did we get here?
Inside the masquerade
Pretending we're not afraid
Behind safety's veneer
Are you awake?
While they're handing out yellow stars
The history book's screaming out
We've seen this before
Under the thumb
We've forgotten who we are
It's in our DNA to be free
We're not made to live this way
Pushed to our knees
Cause we've fallen fast asleep
Can't stand for liberty, bowing to Tyranny
It's not meant to be this way
We've traded free hands
Fought by the blood of man
For illusions of guarantees
Just to be slaves again
Liberty's flame
Still burns through the darkest night
Will we open our eyes to see
Will we be brave again
Under the thumb
We've forgotten who we are
It's in our DNA to be free
We're not made to live this way
Pushed to our knees
Cause we've fallen fast asleep
Can't stand for liberty, bowing to Tyranny
It's not meant to be this way
Has fear become the new religion
We're passing on to our children
Oh, I'm calling to the people
Wake up and hold the line
Will you join me turning tables
While we still have time
Will you join me turning tables
While we still have time
Under the thumb
We've forgotten who we are
It's in our DNA to be free
We're not made to live this way
Pushed to our knees
Cause we've fallen fast asleep
Can't stand for liberty, bowing to Tyranny
It's not meant to be this way
Inside the masquerade
Pretending we're not afraid
Behind safety's veneer
Are you awake?
While they're handing out yellow stars
The history book's screaming out
We've seen this before
Under the thumb
We've forgotten who we are
It's in our DNA to be free
We're not made to live this way
Pushed to our knees
Cause we've fallen fast asleep
Can't stand for liberty, bowing to Tyranny
It's not meant to be this way
We've traded free hands
Fought by the blood of man
For illusions of guarantees
Just to be slaves again
Liberty's flame
Still burns through the darkest night
Will we open our eyes to see
Will we be brave again
Under the thumb
We've forgotten who we are
It's in our DNA to be free
We're not made to live this way
Pushed to our knees
Cause we've fallen fast asleep
Can't stand for liberty, bowing to Tyranny
It's not meant to be this way
Has fear become the new religion
We're passing on to our children
Oh, I'm calling to the people
Wake up and hold the line
Will you join me turning tables
While we still have time
Will you join me turning tables
While we still have time
Under the thumb
We've forgotten who we are
It's in our DNA to be free
We're not made to live this way
Pushed to our knees
Cause we've fallen fast asleep
Can't stand for liberty, bowing to Tyranny
It's not meant to be this way
