Anthem Songtext
von Five Iron Frenzy

The nation stands with heart in hand
To sing their anthem proudly
Voices raised to sing their praise
Of their hollow country
All this talk of freedom
And of talk of liberty
From your plastic podium
You try and convince me

I can′t fall anymore, doo doot doo doo
For some silver-tongued song
Your freedom isn't free, doo doot doo doo
So let me say what freedom means to


I can′t see red, white, and blue waving in the air
I don't hear the bombs bursting and I don't even care
Sorry for my lack of faith
I′m not the greatest patriot
If this is all there is to freedom I don′t want it

I can't fall anymore, doo doot doo doo
For some silver-tongued song
Your freedom isn′t free, doo doot doo doo
So let me say what freedom means to

Pushing us a drug that you call freedom and democracy
Promise us that selfishness is the means for happiness
I burned that bridge so long ago that I can hardly see
Anything but solace in what freedom means to me

I can't fall anymore, doo doot doo doo
For some silver-tongued song
Freedom isn′t free, doo doot doo doo
So let me say what freedom means to


It cannot mean to serve ourselves
That doesn't mean a thing
It doesn′t mean to give the license to seek ourselves in anything
That would be a slavery to ourselves it isn't free
Jesus Christ, the only thing that freedom means to me
