The Day That Freedom Died

~A long long time ago

I can still remember how

That freedom used to make me smile

And I knew if I we had our chance

We could get people out of their trance

And maybe they'd be lucid for a while

But my computer made me shiver

With every web page it delivered

Bad news on the doorstep

I couldn't take one more step

I can't remember if I cried

When I read Roberts bought the lies..

But something touched me deep inside

**The day that freedom died**

So

[Chorus]

Bye, bye Miss American Pie

Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry

Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey in Rye

Singin' this is the day freedom died

This is the day freedom died.

Did you read the book of Marx

And do you see people in light or dark

If the Networks tell you so?

Now did you see that latest poll?

Can socialism save your mortal soul?

And can you teach me how to bleed real slow?

Well, I know the MSM's in love with him

Cause I saw them dancin' in the gym

They smiled and fawned away

Cause socialism's here to stay! 

I was a regular guy just tryin' to make a buck

With a pink carnation and a pickup truck

But I knew I was out of luck

The day that freedom died

I started singin'

[Chorus]

For over 200 years we've been on our own

Now moss grows fat on a rolling stone

But, that's not how it used to be

When the jester sang boy he was stinkin'

In a coat he borrowed from ol Abe Lincoln

And a voice that came from NBC

And while Lady Liberty was looking down

The jester stole her noble crown

Now SCOTUS had adjourned

A vile verdict was returned

And while Michelle read a book on Marx

And Maoists revelled in the park

We sang dirges in the dark

The day that Freedom died

We were singin'

[Chorus]

Helter skelter in a summer swelter

What's left of liberty in a fallout shelter

Paddles attached and fading fast

It landed foul on the grass

The players tried for a forward pass

But the Jester on the sidelines was an ass 

Now the half-time air was stale perfume

While the MSM played a marching tune

We tried to break the trance

Oh, but we never got the chance

Cause patriots tried to take the field

But the Supreme Court refused to yield

Do you recall what was revealed

The day that freedom died?

We started singin'

[Chorus]

Oh, and there we were all in one place

A generation lost in space

With no time left to start again

So come on Barack be nimble, Barack's solution

Barack just burned that Constitution

Cause fire is the devil's only friend

And as I watched him on the stage

My hands were clenched in fists of rage

No angel born in Hell

Could break that Satan's spell

And as the flames climbed high into the night

To light the sacrificial rite

I saw Obama laughing with delight

The day that Freedom died

He was singin'

[Chorus]

I met a girl who sang the blues

And I asked her for some happy news

But she just smiled and turned away

I went down to the health care store

Where I'd experienced freedom, years before

But the man there said the government wouldn't pay

And in the streets the children screamed

The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed

But not a word was spoken

The Liberty Bell was broken

And the three men I admire most-

the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost-

They caught the last train for the coast

The day that freedom died.

They were singin'

[Chorus]
