Lyrics

TAKE MY FREEDOM AWAY

They say I gotta wear a mask to cover my face
To keep folks from dyin from the fake coronavirus plague
Don't they know that in the US of A
You can't tell a man what he must do or say
I'm never gonna let them take my freedom away

No matter what they come up with I'm gonna disobey
I ain't gonna listen - don't care what they say
If they tell me I gotta wear clothes
To cover my privates when I'm walkin down the road
I'll put on my birthday suit and go out for a stroll

They're tryin to take my freedom away
But I ain't gonna listen - gonna disobey
Don't they know this is the US of A
I'm never gonna let them take my freedom away

And if they say I can't drive after a 6 pack or 3
They'll be crossin the line into tyranny
I'm gonna drink and drive cause I wanna stay free
I won't let them take my masculinity
Best believe - that's the way things should be

And I won't stop just because the light is red
If I feel like it I'll drive through full speed ahead
It's in my American DNA
To fight for what's right till my dyin day
I'll never let the commies take my freedom away
They're tryin to take my freedom away
But I ain't gonna listen - gonna disobey
Don't they know this is the US of A
I'm never gonna let them take my freedom away
