Lyrics

Free, yeah, I am free

From your inciting You can't brainwash me You've got a problem

Free, yeah I’m free From society. You can't control me I'm a defector.

You think you're strong And you can't be broken But you empire is dissolving.

You tought, You tought I was weak But you got it wrong Look into my eyes, I'm a defector.

Free, yeah I’m free from your incinting You can't brainwash me You've got a problem

Free, yeah I’m free From society You can't control me, I'm a defector.

Your blood is blue and Your mind turned green and Your belly is all yellow.

You believe Your throne is too high To be overthrown We'll watch it get razed By a defector

Free, yeah I’m free From your incinting You can't brainwash me You've got a problem Free, yeah I’m free From society You can’t control me. I’m a defector

[John F. Kennedy Speech] We look for strength and assistance Confident that with your help Man will be what he was born to be: free and independent.
