Lyrics

How about it America? Ready for the big one?
Are you lining up to vote for Jesus and Kingdom Come?
Only the men to have authority Except for a few women and minorities
Who service their mastersmAnd polish their guns
So they can go out and punish Those reluctant ones
With their election day hit squadsmAnd their psychotic judges
And then stand before you with a straight face
Like the boy who cried wolf And cry freedom

They cry freedom While they're taking it away
They don't mean freedom for you
They mean the freedom for themselves to Tell you what to do
And your kids how to think
They're the ones who self-identify With the best decisions money can buy
And want elections they must personally run
To serve the fetus and the gun And push other people around
All they do is bring you down
When they stand before you with a straight face
Like the boy who cried wolf And cry freedom

Cry freedom on election day
Cry freedom til they all go away
Cry freedom everybody please Cry freedom

What up, America?Ready for the big shootout?
Open carry everywhere That's what I'm talkin' about
What could possibly go wrong? Well-armed militias in every town
With a Bible and a fiery cross There are some who'd call that Paradise
I could say more but I'm being nice
And why should I worry when deep down I know
They're just building him up To bring us all down low
As he stands before you with a straight face
Like the boy who cried wolf And cries freedom

Cry freedom on election day
Cry freedom til they all go away
Cry freedom that's the plan
Cry freedom take a stand
Cry freedom while you still can
Cry freedom everybody please
Cry freedom
