LYRICS
Just when I thought I saw everything
Look what they had left
Flood the streets
Let the levy spring
Our final freedom theft
Deft?
Ummm
Free-dumb
Ummm
Mamas and veterans hold back the flood
Over dead bodies and blood
With shock and awe and dropping jaw
I heard a mother say:
“No! Not this way.
No! Not today
Over my dead body.”
No. Nobody
Leave those kids alone
Free and brave
Save our own home
Hey! Lave those kids alone
Over flesh
Over bone
Deft?
Ummm… free-dum
None left.
Not right.
Just deft?
No right.
