Anthem Lyrics - Proof That The Youth Are Revolting (live) - Five Iron Frenzy

A nation stands with heart in hand 

To sing their anthem proudly 

Voices raised to sing their praise 

Of their hollow country 

All this talk of freedom 

And some talk of liberty 

From your plastic podium 

You try and convince me I can't fall anymore 

For some silver-tongued song 

Your freedom isn't free 

So let me say what freedom means to 

I can's see red, white, and blue waving in the air 

I don't hear the bombs bursting and I don't even care 

I'm sorry for my lack of faith I'm not the greatest patriot 

If this is all their is to freedom I don't want it I can't fall anymore 

For some silver-tongued song 

Your freedom isn't free 

So let me say what freedom means to 

Pushing us a drug that you call freedom and democracy 

Promise us that selfishness is the means for happiness 

I burned that bridge so long ago that I can hardly see 

Anything but solace in what freedom means to me I can't fall anymore 

For some silver-tongued song 

Freedom isn't free 

So let me say what freedom means to 

It cannot mean to serve ourselves 

That doesn't mean a thing 

It doesn't mean to give the license 

To seek ourselves in anything 

That would be slavery to ourselves it isn't free 

Jesus Christ, the only thing that freedom means to me.
