Free To Do Whatever They Say - The Virginmarys

My bones carry me home

Through the back roads

Where I’m never exposed

And my cries are buried inside

I swallow my pride

Everyday my life closes in

And I wake to another handhake

The system breaks whatever it takes away

Full force forever on course

Through the back roads

Through the back roads

Set back I’m losing my tact

In the tall grass

Where they’re hunting in packs

On the war path

Where they follow my tracks

My heart keeps skipping beats

And I’m catching breaths

And this life has taken its toll

Another lost soul in another black hole

Those sane are forever in pane

And I can’t close my eyes for the fear of death

Exchanging love for war

Watch your dreams of freedom fall away

Today

And I can’t close my eyes I’ve got nothing left

On course to lose it all

Smash your TV through the wall and pray

Today

You’re free to do whatever they say

Man-made battle through rage

On the back page

Found dead in his cage

In the rat race

Working minimum wage

No one sheds a tear for those left to die

My hands tied

So damn tired

Left to hide with my spiritual guide

And those sane are forever in pain

The system breaks whatever it takes away

Exchange your love for war

Watch your dreams of freedom fall away

Today

And I can’t close my eyes for the fear of death

One force to rule us all

Smash your TV through the wall and pray

Today

You’re free to do whatever they say

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, ohhhhh

Oh, oh, ohhhhh

Compromise is blind till there’s nothing left

Exchanging love for war

Watch your dreams of freedom fall away

Today

And I can’t close my eyes for my life’s regrets

On course to lose it all

Smash your TV through the wall and pray

Today

I can’t close my eyes for the fear of death

One force to rule us all

Stand your ground or look the other way

Today

You’re free to do whatever they say

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, ohhhhh

Oh, oh, ohhhhh
