This is what I am

This is how you come to grips

A plastic image, glass and metal

Legs and arms, teeth and lips (and me)

This is freedom



This is what we are

This is what we want to be

An ultra-image fantasy

A magic talisman for you (and me)



This is freedom

This is freedom

Freedom in a cage

(Freedom in a cage)

Freedom



Drifting sideways, up and down

A rolling sea of choices

Find a way (find the time)

Build a wall to contain their voices

(To contain their voices)

And overwhelmed, I take the helm



Backwoods hunt and fish the stream

(This is freedom)

Factory or car wash team

(This is freedom)

Family to fawn upon

(This is freedom)

Penthouse, roadhouse, on and on and on

Oh, on and on

And on, and on



This is what I can

This is what you cannot see

I must heel at your command

America, I cannot call you free

You're not free, yeah



If this is freedom, and this is freedom

It's freedom in a cage

(Freedom in a cage)

Freedom



Swim the mainstream side to side

Suffocate my vices

Leave the green (free the bird)

Leave the womb, left to my devices

(Left to my devices)

I'll improvise



I realize that this is freedom

This is freedom

This is freedom

(Freedom)



Backwoods hunt and fish the stream

(This is freedom, freedom)

Factory or car wash team

(This is freedom, freedom)

Family to fawn upon, fawn upon, fawn upon

(This is freedom, freedom)

Penthouse, roadhouse, on and on and on and on and on

(This is freedom
