Freedom

I used to think you understood 
Taught me right and learnt me good 
Made things simple for my brain 
Told the truth and made it plain 

But the implications I mistook 
Until I found out whose side you took 
And now with paper in my hand I'm beginning to understand 

So this is freedom - {They must be joking} 
They must be joking - {If they think its true} 
So this is freedom - [I doubt their truth} 
So this is freedom - {For me and you} 

From the front page news to the interviews 
It's sink the reds and lift the blues 
They pretend they're differing points of view 
But it's only different shades of blue 

But the implications I mistook 
Until I found out whose side you took 
And now with paper in my hand I'm beginning to understand 

So this is freedom - {They must be joking} 
They must be joking - {If they think its true} 
So this is freedom - [I doubt their truth} 
So this is freedom - {For me and you} 

[Guitar Solo] 

So this is freedom - {They must be joking}
They must be joking - {If they think its true}
So this is freedom - [I doubt their truth} 
So this is freedom - {For me and you} 

F.R.E.E.D.O.M. 
They locked us up once 
So they'll do it again 

C.H.A.I.N.E.D. 
They locked up my friends 
Now they're coming for me
