Freed Into Captivity

Let's go!
Everybody needs to start their own fire.
Everybody needs a riot of their own.
Everybody needs to be something that they are not.
Everybody needs to go it alone.

Because...
Living so free is a tragedy,
When you can't be what you want to be.
Living so free is a tragedy,
When you can't see what you need to see.

Okay...
All the time spent hanging on to anything,
All the time spent knowing that they're wrong,
All the time wasted, stolen back, innocent,
You won't get a second more so move it along.

Because...
Living so free is a tragedy,
When you can't be what you want to be.
Living so free is a tragedy,
When you can't see what you need to see.

Living so free is a tragedy,
When you can't be what you want to be.
Living so free is a tragedy,
When you can't see what you need to see.

Wishing and hoping and thinking it's you,
That's got this all under control.
Never a minute has passed you all by,
When they haven’t invaded your soul.

It’s not something you can hold.
It’s not something you own.
It's not something you can buy or steal.
You've got it when you're alone.

Being free is a tragedy,
When you don't know yourself.
Being free is a tragedy,
When you don't know who you are.

Living so free is a tragedy,
When you can't be what you want to be.
Living so free is a tragedy,
When you can't see what you need to see.

Let's go!
Hey, hey, hey!
Alright then,
This is the story of your life, man.

And in other places around the world, it's growing clear that the Americans are trigger happy.
