“Freedom”
Amos Lee
Standard Tuning
Intro:
[riff 1]
Verse:
Don't wanna be a martyr in this war
Don't wanna hear the same excuses anymore
That everything's a threat
And it's only gonna get worse if we let it
Don't wanna blame the rich for what they got
Don't point a finger at the poor for what they have not
Though the politician and the priest
Live in the belly of the beast because we fed it
Chorus:
[riff 2]
Freedom is seldom found
[riff 2]
By beating someone to the ground
[riff 1]
Telling them how everything is gonna be now, yeah
Verse:
Now if the tables were turned tell me how you would feel
Somebody busted up into your house telling you to stay still
While the leaders will deny defeat
Innocents they testify by dying in the street
Chorus:
Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now
Chorus:
Freedom is seldom found
By beating someone to the ground
Telling them how everything is gonna be now
