freedom samba (adit remix) - the herd lyrics

[verse 1: ozi batla]
it’s after curfew, so make sure that no*one heard you
just the suggestion of free expression could hurt you
untamed aggression on the faces of the faithful
el patron is merciful, eternally grateful
coming out the pep rally down at the stadium
where they say the secret jail is * just put the cages in
tear gas and horses, disperse the demonstration
turn the native army on the native population
official tv station has taken a different view
they say they’re banning gatherings of any more than two
cos the president lives in mortal fear of a coup d’etat
he’s raised his own militia * it’s autumn of the patriarch
ordered his body double, ride in an open car
distribute gifts to the barrios that done it hard
some took the bait
they see him as the father of the nation that they can’t hate
others just can’t wait to take back what they lost
they rally under black flags and toss molotovs
it’s always freedom at what cost
the pamphlet they drop said that pacifism is a paradox
you turn the other cheek and cop another shot
exiles wanna shout ‘you don’t know what you got’
sometimes freedom is defined by what it’s not
you never really know where the road you walk ends up
you’ve gotta keep your heads up
you’ve gotta keep your heads up
[verse 2: ozi batla]
tut tut go the paper * call ’em terrorists
paint ’em as psychopathic murderous savages
isolate ’em try and make ’em illegitimate
pro*government sources condemn ’em on the internet
the hearts and minds of the people are with the will of the warlord
but they don’t think of him as a warlord
you can send in new and improved anti*terror units
and move and eliminate, that’s a civilian fate
late night raids by nameless death squads
small kids snarling at soldiers to ‘get lost!’
you don’t even know all the feet you stepped on
say you neutralised the area * well you’re dead wrong
what about the missing we haven’t heard from?
so there’s plenty more volunteers to strap bombs
doesn’t take your forces long to catch on
this is anything but romantic * this is terror for two
me with absolutely nothing to lose
only one of us is seeking the truth
and you don’t wanna know the truth

[hook: jane tyrrell]
they try to tell you they’re only trying to help
they’ll lock you up to protect you from yourself
they’ll lock you up to deflect you from their wealth
create fear of a foe you can’t see
eventually now it’s so plain to see
it’s your freedom that’s the first casualty
they try to tell you they’re only trying to help
they’ll lock you up to protect you from yourself
they’ll lock you up to deflect you from their wealth
they try to tell you they’re only trying to help
they’ll lock you up to protect you from yourself
they’ll lock you up to deflect you from their wealth
create fear of a foe you can’t see
eventually now it’s so plain to see
it’s your freedom that’s the first casualty
they try to tell you they’re only trying to help
they’ll lock you up to protect you from yourself
they’ll lock you up to deflect you from their wealth
they try to tell you they’re only trying to help
they’ll lock you up to protect you from yourself
they’ll lock you up to deflect you from their wealth
create fear of a foe you can’t see
eventually now it’s so plain to see
it’s your freedom that’s the first casualty
they try to tell you they’re only trying to help
they’ll lock you up to protect you from yourself
they’ll lock you up to deflect you from their wealth
they try to tell you they’re only trying to help
they’ll lock you up to protect you from yourself
they’ll lock you up to deflect you from their wealth
create fear of a foe you can’t see
eventually now it’s so plain to see
it’s your freedom that’s the first casualty
they try to tell you they’re only trying to help
they’ll lock you up to protect you from yourself
they’ll lock you up to deflect you from their wealth
