Damned to Be Free Songtext
von Bad Religion

Death and the shadow that it casts on life scares me little or none
People tell me of a divine right and the happy chosen one
I′m a freak, 'cause the morals clash with others in my world
I go home while they work hard, then they say I′m wrong

There's only one place to be
While living with tragedy
If their sins affected me
I gotta be damned to be free


Freedom is a responsibility, pay more than it's worth
Feelings that tell us not to die hazing me since birth
Learn their rules and play their game, deceive yourself in haste
Turn your own brain into dust, it′s not theirs to waste

There′s only one place to be
While living with tragedy
Extract the nectar, burn the tree
I gotta be damned to be free

Thinking, "This world, it ain't so bad"
Dying, it′s just another fad
Working eight hours, that's not for me
Dying it′s just your destiny
