Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cut the rotting branches of government that stop
The people from having meaning today
Stay out of my business and keep to yourself
Got to do things my own way
[Verse 2]
Minimizing freedom with your rules and regulations
A never-ending hunger to control
Choking out the life of your own population
Abusing the power you hold
[Verse 3]
Power
Control
(Fuck the) Power
Control
[Verse 4]
Give me liberty
Or give me death
Give me liberty
Or give me death
[Verse 5]
Death to our independence, death to those who fight
Death to the Constitution and the Bill of Rights
Showing no regard for the way things ought to be
Stripping away rights from you and me
[Verse 6]
The founding fathers would be rolling in their graves
If they could see what you are doing to this place
The next thing to go is our freedom of speech
So I'll speak up while I still can and maximize my reach
[Verse 7]
Power
Control
(Fuck the) Power
Control
[Verse 8]
Power
Control
(Fuck the) Power
Control
[Verse 9]
Give me liberty
Or give me death
Give me liberty
Or give me death
[Verse 10]
I find it hard to believe
Some things are better left unsaid
Is it the land of the free?
Democracy is dead
[Verse 11]
Cut the rotting branches of government that stop
The people from having meaning today
Stay out of my business and keep to yourself
Got to do things my own way
[Verse 12]
Minimizing freedom with your rules and regulations
A never-ending hunger to control
Choking out the life of your own population
Abusing the power you hold
[Verse 13]
Power
Control
(Fuck the) Power
Control
[Verse 14]

(Fuck the) Power
Control
[Verse 15]
Give me liberty or death
[Verse 16]
When the people fear the government, there is tyranny
When the government fears the people, there is liberty
