lyrics

Deadly poison from the mouth of the elite
Words that only serve to divide
Only humans could be so careless
When will we see what’s right in front of our eyes?
Blind sheep, carried to the slaughter
Guided by whims that come from way up high
Will they ever break free from this spell,
Or will it cost them their very lives?

Chorus:
Freedom fighter, out on my own
Doin’ what no man dares to do
A lone wolf, standing alone
Nevertheless, I feel it in my soul
Freedom fighter, out on my own
Doin’ what no man dares to do
Is it still “majority rules”
If everyone believes something that isn’t true?

Underneath those flowery words
Lies an evil beyond our understanding
Meticulous and calculated
Nothing you see or hear is as it seems
If only someone would rise up and save us
Lord knows it’s what we need right now
Who among us will sit idly
And who will rise and seize the tainted crown?

[Chorus]

"Today there's been a wide-ranging debate about two of the country's leading newspapers giving in to a terrorist's demands. The New York Times and Washington Post printed a rambling 35,000-word manuscript that railed against modern technology and ended in this chilling conclusion: 'In order to get our message before the public with some chance of making a lasting impression, we've had to kill people.'"

I grab my tools, my AK, too
And who could forget that leather ordnance belt
Armed with the courage of ten
Schizophrenic; in over my head
Ain’t no one gonna get out alive
This i swear, lest the heavens fall
I make a move, the sirens wail,
One shot to kill; wouldn’t you guess? I’m in hell!

[Chorus]

Freedom fighter
Out on my own
Freedom fighter
Out on the road (2x)
C’mon! Get it now!
I’m gonna get getcha baby!
