When I was only five years old They said to do just what you're told And maybe when you grow up Maybe we'll let you make your own choices...but not now They said nothing in life is free And so there ain't no use in dreaming Now tell me what you want to be We'll give you choices 1 thru 915 I think I know what I want to be now mama I'm gonna be the man who tears down slavery I know it's not in the right set of choices But I think it's the right thing for me See I believe we're all created free people And anything less than that just ain't the same (Lynard Skynard Break) Emancipation Proclamation Now the black mans free to join the white mans slavery Wages and terrorism are one in the same Or are we afraid of what it is we really want to be And the importance of our military industry is nothing And the importance of our economy is nothing And the importance of our self-deceptive convenience is nothing And the importance of all our ists and isms are nothing And it cares not for me, cares not for you Cares for nothing but the selfish game That tears us from one another And it means nothing
