FREEDOM BY THE BARREL (An anthemic protest song about abuse of power by the wealthy) by Power Of Song

Lyrics

FREEDOM BY THE BARREL

They got a Jesus face painted on the tank
Got democracy and battle plans,
The "Bill of Rights" and bombing runs
They got a corporate box at the playoff games
Travel business class on the gravy train
Got lobbyists with great big silver tongues
And they got freedom by the barrel
Freedom by the barrel of a gun

Billionaires with high ideals
Gonna roll some folks beneath the wheels
Better grab your things get set to run
'Cause they got freedom by the barrel of a gun

They got fear campaigns making lots of noise
Their own truth laid out full of talking points
Got liberty their fathers fought and won
They'll bring vote machines with no paper trail
Put your country up for a fire sale
And after everything is said and done
They'll have freedom by the barrel
Freedom by the barrel of a gun

Billionaires with high ideals
Gonna roll some folks beneath the wheels
Better grab your things get set to run
Once they siphon off their fee
There'll be nothing left for you and me
Just words that they will empty one by one
But they’ll have freedom by the barrel
Freedom by the barrel,
Freedom by the barrel of a gun
