lyrics

Sound the Alarm! Against the bastards grinding you down! We don't want them here in this town!
Sound the Alarm! Abusers of all shapes and sizes, they are what this city despises.
Sound the Alarm! The Bastards are still here and they're whispering tiny voices in your ear.

They're not in Jail! Because they built the prisons!
They're not in Jail! Because they own the banks!
They're not in Jail! Because they run the courthouse!
They're not in Jail! Because they own the tanks!

All I have is my time and my pen. Walls to stare at forever again. I'd think of screaming but what would that do? It could never take me back to you. I had a dream but it seemed to erode. Dried Like a raisin and could never explode. But sometimes if I'm quiet in bed, I hear that dream dancing in my head.

Oh, Freedom! Freedom! It seems that you are hard to find!
Oh, Freedom! Freedom! Been searching through the corners of my mind!
Oh, Freedom! Freedom! When they give me time on the stationary bike,
Oh, Freedom! Freedom! I'd riding down Cleveland's streets when I close my eyes.

Nostalgia stings like a knife in my heart. Memories they will tear me apart. I try and not think of that day but every now and then my mind will stray. I had a dream but it seemed to erode. Dried like a raisin and could never explode. But at night if I'm quiet in bed, I can hear that dream dancing in my head!

Oh, Freedom! Freedom! It seems that you are hard to find!
Oh, Freedom! Freedom! Been searching through the corners of my mind!
Oh, Freedom! Freedom! When they give me time on the stationary bike,
Oh, Freedom! Freedom! I'd riding down Cleveland's streets when I close my eyes.

Stealing these moments away from sadness.
We made our own space to think and to breathe.
If brutalist buildings aren't actively crumbling,
We'll pick up the tools and help them to leave.
