The Forgotten – Our Response lyrics

Album: Control Me

I dont want to rule the world
just to live in a free country
just give me my land and my liberties
this is not how we were founded
the fathers wouldnt act this way
they wouldnt keep our peopel grounded
theyd want em livin for today.
wont be frightened into houses
or be deterred from taking flight
were gonna storm the streets
and live with all our might
i dont want to change the map
or colonize the world
i want to recognize my birthrite
a true son of liberty

i take pride in how we were built
blood spilled in '76
i repect what they pushed for
the freedom that they meant
to give up now would let them down
well not on my watch
ill stand strong to fight it
like Kilcullen at the rock

ive never took for granted
these freedoms that we have
the right to worship who i want
or leave whenever i please
we choose our own officials
at least thats the idea..
ive got the right to own a gun
to protect my interests here

ive tried to exercize my rights
at every fuckin turn
these liberties were given
as must as they were earned
i thank our fighting forces
who stand guard upon our dream
without their protection
we'd be an overrun country

take advantage of what we got
dont let your freedom rot
konw your rights
throught and through
should have been a patriot before the bombs hit
