12. Declaration (7:00)
Freedom is all I have to say,
in defense of what the world's becoming.
A nation hellbent on choosing what's right,
and how we all should live our lives.
Fuck their ways,
it is time to break free.
Fuck their hate,
acceptance is what we need.
Equality for every race, sex, sexuality,
and every choice to live our lives.
And to you bigot cretin ignocamus,
mind your own goddamn fucking business.
Fuck their ways,
it is time to break free.
Fuck their hate,
acceptance is what we need.
Holding onto what makes,
makes us whole.
Never letting their poison,
take control.
Freezing the air,
that stands between all of us.
Closing the eyes,
bear witness to me.
Feeling the fear,
that stands between all of us.
Closing the eyes,
bear witness to me.
I'll be right here,
falling away.
Fighting on principle!
I'll die a thousand times,
before I'll ever be them.
Fighting on principle!
I'll die a thousand times,
before I'll ever be them.
Burn the scriptures,
bury the governing.
Free yourself,
break the structures.
Declare Freedom...
Freedom is all I have to say,
in defense of what the world's becoming.
A nation hellbent on choosing what's right,
and how we all should live our lives.
Fuck their ways,
it is time to break free.
Fuck their hate,
acceptance is what we need.
Holding onto what makes,
makes us whole.
Never letting their poison,
take control.
Freezing the air,
that stands between all of us.
Closing the eyes,
bear witness to me.
Feeling the fear,
that stands between all of us.
Closing the eyes,
bear witness to me.
in defense of what the world's becoming.
A nation hellbent on choosing what's right,
and how we all should live our lives.
Fuck their ways,
it is time to break free.
Fuck their hate,
acceptance is what we need.
Equality for every race, sex, sexuality,
and every choice to live our lives.
And to you bigot cretin ignocamus,
