freedom's a mere word

a taste of moral certainty or sense
would serve to make us think our world not fair
such knowledge reaches even the most dense
a taste of moral certainty or sense

we understand all this without pretense
justice and honour do not breathe this air
a taste of moral certainty or sense
would serve to make us think our world not fair

our bosses tell us that they really care
but then pass by without a second glance
the ones bent double by their pain and fair
our bosses tell us that they really care

we're told that only foolish folk would dare
to undermine the powers of elegance
our bosses tell us that they really care
but then pass by without a second glance

all life we're told did not reach here by chance
the status quo has force that is immense
if we don't bow then we cannot advance
all life we're told did not reach here by chance

we've got to follow in the same old dance
although the order has no true defence
all life we're told did not reach here by chance
the status quo has force that is immense
