Stop Blowing Off Your Freedom

The facts are way too simple
So folks try to make them hard
But the freedom that we're given
Is like drawing the winning card

You are free to be as stupid
As you really care to be
Just as you're allowed
To see all you can see

You are free to use you mind
For all that it can learn
Then you're free to use resources
To get what you can earn

You are free to try and fail
To conquer and to win
You can do the best for one and all
Or choose to live in sin

With all the freedom offered
We've relinquished way too much
In the fact that we aren't watching
And our government's out of touch

We must work to keep our freedom
Which with it we have grown
Or fall to growing government
Being free to being owned
