American Upstart – Lockdown lyrics

verse #1: what happened to red white and blue
lost my faith three years ago when all my dreams came crashing down to the ground
gave up on my country, gave up on my town
when i saw the hatred and the suffering all around

chorus: FREEDOM REIGN FREE
WHY CAN'T YOU REIGN ON ME
MY LIFE, MY LIFE IS LOCKDOWN

verse #2: the day i stopped waving my flag
was the day that i held my head up high
realized that life wasn't about competition and hate
finally found myself looking out at life
but sickened by the racism and the crime
i'm gonna follow my heart, make my own choice
