FREE AS A SLAVE

Free as a slave
pretty like a kind of a loyal
what a pity that day
when his head rolled away
pretty like a kind of a coward
pretty like a kind of a king
He lived like a slave
but he died holding a gun

Don’t you want?
Don’t you dream?
You seem so paralyzed
nothing wrong about your fears
to let them trick you twice
less is more
we seem so paralyzed
less is more
don’t you think we seem so paralyzed

Free as a slave
body and soul chained in a cage
while his head was found
miles away from here
pretty like a kind of a blue note
pretty like a kind of a man
he lived like a slave
but he died holding a gun

When you born, you’re not free
You gotta fight for your sin
is too far your hometown
ain't no freedom
where you born, is not your seal
You gotta fight for your leash
there' no meaning nowadays
Can you get out from the corner ?
