about

people need to be nice and eat donutz and support freedom

lyrics

Wouldn't it be great if every person was a human
With rights and ideals and privilege and emotion
Wouldn't it be great if the peace that we were taught
Applied to everyone equally

Then they'll have nothing left to loot
Otherwise we'll have nothing left to lose

Shouldn't we band together and repair this bridge
That so many burned so long ago
Gathering our lumber, our hands are now calloused
These splinters are deep but still we toil

We still have labor left to do
We still have so much left to lose

We're stomping on the knuckles of those hanging off the cliffs
We're spitting in the eyes, we're shackling the wrists

Keep on screaming freedom

Wouldn't it be great if our citizens were free
To live without fear and exist in peace
Couldn't we be nice and learn some respect
The kind that our founders sought when they left

Then things will begin to change
Then our species will stop getting in its own way

We're relentless in our charge to subjugate the poor
We're closing and then locking and then breaking down the doors

We're stomping on the knuckles of those hanging off the cliffs
We're spitting in the eyes, we're shackling the wrists

Keep on screaming freedom
