Put Your Freedom Where Your Mouth Is Lyrics - Two Wolves - John Flynn

Put Your Freedom Where Your Mouth Is 

John Flynn 

Album: Two Wolves 

There's a young man 

In a prison 

Somewhere far across the sea 

And his body's 

Being broken 

In the name of you and me 

He's been charged with 

No offenses 

And convicted of no crime 

He's protected 

By no law there 

And he's running out of time 

Put your freedom where your mouth is 

In a land of liberty 

You can't say 

Nothing about this 

'cause no tortured man is free 

There's a woman 

Being beaten 

By the police in the place 

Where she wheres her 

Subjugation 

Like a vale across her face 

It's a monster 

We've created 

So we don't dare to protest 

Cuz it's oil 

Is like black milk 

And we suckle at it's breast 

Put your freedom where your mouth is 

In a land of liberty 

You can't say 

Nothing about this 

'cause no beaten woman's free 

[Bridge] 

Now a child's 

Belly's empty 

And he's crying from the pain 

And his mother 

Soon will leave him 

To the virus in her vein 

And his future 

Ain't much brighter than the color of his skin 

If you have not 

Heard him weeping 

Then it's time that you begin 

Put your freedom where your mouth is 

In a land of liberty 

You can't say 

Nothing about this 

'cause no hungry child is free 

There's a student 

And he's gathering 

Up his text books in the dirt 

'cause they did not 

Like the slogan 

He had printed on his shirt 

And they say he 

Got off easy 

And they say next time he won't 

But he'll keep wearing that t-shirt 

Because they win if you don't 

Put your freedom where your mouth is 

In a land of liberty 

You can't say 

Nothing about this 

'cause no silent person's free
