The third rail

[Dj13Francis]

This song doesn't tiptoe around the third rail of American politics, it steps all over it. Video coming soon...

Fighting for our Freedom



They’re fighting for your freedom

They’re fighting for my freedom

Real reasons for the war have not a thing to do with freedom

They’re fighting for my freedom

They’re fighting for your freedom

Not a soldier in no war is fighting for your freedom except for maybe Bradley Manning



Always hearing how our boys are fighting for our freedom

But to speak the truth about em’s tantamount to treason

They say the reason for the wars is to keep freedom alive

But that shit has not been true since bloody nineteen forty five



Truth is all of it is bullshit; it justifies eternal war

Though it’s said a million times it still is only modern folklore

Peace has never had a chance, not when greed is in the way

Profiteering and the devil seems to always win the day



They’re fighting for your freedom

They’re fighting for my freedom

Real reasons for the war have not a thing to do with freedom

They’re fighting for my freedom

They’re fighting for your freedom

Not a soldier in no war is fighting for your freedom except for maybe Bradley Manning



Over there they blow up schools and do it in our name

Their only real orders are to torture kill and maim

To keep the complex running strong more of war is always needed

Eisenhower had it right but his wisdom wasn’t heeded



We are there to harvest poppies and we’re there to pump the oil

Though it seems to speak this truth somehow renders me disloyal

We must all just stop this nonsense that these wars are for our freedom

Then we’ll stop the bastards who really are committing treason



They’re fighting for your freedom

They’re fighting for my freedom

Real reasons for the war have not a thing to do with freedom

They’re fighting for my freedom

They’re fighting for your freedom

Not a soldier in no war is fighting for your freedom except for maybe Bradley Manning
