Freedom These Days by A Beautiful Grind Lyrics
Why do we idolize those who put on a show as if they are somehow succeeding by enjoying the joy they have stolen from the world in monetary form? Enjoying what? Purgatory? Party in hell? Because that’s all we’re all sharing right now. And it’s half their fault. The least they could do for decency’s sake is to not rub it in, to give back, and be conscious
I’m state lines, my one child, my wife and my demons
Away from my old life
Not to mention medication
No more weed
I’m free?
No way is this freedom
The world still in shambles so how can I breathe
But I’m living my best life, in terms of offering benefit
Given circumstances
This is really it?
Huh? U.S. of A.?
What kind of freedom and at what kind of cost
It’s like this everywhere though, see
Cuz at the cost of the freedom these days comes
The exploitation of you and of me
The wealthy elite; They don’t give a damn
To them they really think that they’re winning
But they’re no better off than you or I
And they don’t see the end game; They’re far from reality
In their space ships and late nights
Workin to enslave
The people; I’m full of hatred
Not for them, But for the system they make
Cuz they don’t really know, we need true education
I’m state lines, my one child, my wife and my demons
Away from my old life
Not to mention meditation
No more weed
I’m free?
No way is this freedom
The world still in shambles so how can I breathe
But I’m living my best life, in terms of offering benefit
Given circumstances
What do you do it for? Cuz as for me
I’d be dead, If it weren’t for my purpose
Of bringing truth into fashion
Helping people to see
That it’s not really an option
That we all need to wake up, Before we can live
But we can live
My biggest contribution, My prayers that I say
In whatever medium; This album, And everything
Else, That I send your way
Before the grave, What we leave to the world
What it does for them, and
What they summon us back with
As life revolves, And we come back again
Next time and the next time, until We get it right
Uh
I’m state lines, my one child, my wife and my demons
Away from my old life
Not to mention medication and meditation
No more weed
I’m free?
No way is this freedom
The world still in shambles so how can I breathe
But I’m living my best life, in terms of offering benefit
Given circumstances
I’m state lines, my one child, my wife and my demons
Away from my old life
Not to mention meditation
No more weed
I’m free?
No way is this freedom
The world still in shambles so how can I breathe
But I’m living my best life, in terms of offering benefit
Given circumstances
So what’s that height of the podium worth?
I’m state lines, my one child, my wife and my demons
Away from my old life
Not to mention medication
No more weed
I’m free?
No way is this freedom
The world still in shambles so how can I breathe
But I’m living my best life, in terms of offering benefit
Given circumstances
This is really it?
Huh? U.S. of A.?
What kind of freedom and at what kind of cost
