Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A victim of collision on the open sea
Nobody ever said that life was free
Sank, swam, go down with the ship
But use your freedom of choice
[Verse 2]
I'll say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Your freedom of choice
[Verse 3]
In ancient Rome there was a poem
About a dog who found two bones
He picked at one, he licked the other
He went in circles, then he dropped dead
[Verse 4]
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice
[Verse 5]
Then if you got it, you don't want it
Seems to be the rule of thumb
Don't be tricked by what you see
You got two ways to go
[Verse 6]
I'll say it again in the land of the free
Use your freedom of choice
Freedom of choice
[Verse 7]
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom of choice
[Verse 8]
In ancient Rome there was a poem
About a dog who found two bones
He picked at one, he licked the other
He went in circles, he dropped dead
[Verse 9]
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice
Is what you want
[Verse 10]
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice
Is what you want
[Verse 11]
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice
Is what you want
[Verse 12]
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice
