instead of freely living liberty

instead of freely living liberty
the legislation shows how to behave
with regulated actions think we're free

to do just as we're told we are so free
to regulated freedom we are slaves
instead of freely living liberty

we're told just what we can and cannot see
what words we are allowed or not to say
with regulated actions think we're free

they've molded what our liberty should be
and tell us it is wrong for more to crave
instead of freely living liberty

restrictions, where to worship Deity,
and where and when to never sit and pray
with regulated actions think we're free

our Constitution's hung upon a tree
decreed that Statist living must be saved
instead of freely living liberty
with regulated actions think we're free
