Lyrics
Put your life on the line
To hesitate is a waste of time
No giving in to repent
Unto the system of the government
It's called the people's republic here
The propaganda so sincere
Oh, what a joke and a blatant lie
From criminals ranking high
Born a political prisoner
Raised outside of the law
I'm gonna keep on fighting
Until I die for the cause
Put an end to hypocrisy
Lead the way to democracy
No longer will we play the fool
To brutalized military rule
They started forty years ago
We never could say yes or no
Millions souls make your voice
We want the right to make a choice
Born a political prisoner
Raised outside of the law
I'm gonna keep on fighting
Until I die for the cause
Freedom, freedom calling
Out from the pain
Freedom, freedom calling
Seven days of may
They tried to show a peaceful path
Then it turned into a blood bath
In the square they plan the game
That's when the tanks of the army came
They called the murders minimal
Descibed their victims as criminals
Dead souls like you and me
Who only wanted free society
Born a political prisoner
Raised outside of the law
I'm gonna keep on fighting
Until I die for the cause
Freedom, freedom calling
Out from the pain
Freedom, freedom calling
Seven days of may
