lyrics

the government owns me,
and all the trees
why can't i just go away and live
my life in the woods
and it's so easy to take for granted
that the meat we eat
was once a living thing
all provided for us
at cheap cost

we're not truly free
born as government - property
we're not truly free
born as government - property

thinking about,
while listening to trucks drive through the rain;
it's amazing how far
the moral code
can vary from human to human
and at the end of the day we're all just animals
so eat up
get your fill
there be fat savages running the mill
there's a wolf spider in the kitchen,
oh lord please quit your bitchin'

we're not truly free
born as government - property
we're not truly free
born as government - property
