Lyrics

And the sky is falling upwards on a summer desert night
While kids in school are forced to sing the battle hymns just right
Extras paid to get excited on the tv screen
So doped up on diversions that they dont know what it means

To be free to hate the ones you hate
Free to love the ones you love
Free to like the land you live on
Not the one who leads
All i'm sayin', dig the grave you lay in
After all, you make the call
Hang up before its too late

Make sure to give your full attention smile the best you can
Watch this hand give peace sign while the other chokes a man
Cuz he wants to love another man they'll tell you that its bad
Some book that set the moral codes is glamourized in ads

So be free to hate the ones you hate
Free to love the ones you love
Free to like the land you live on
Not the one who leads
All i'm sayin', dig the grave you lay in
After all, you make the call
Hang up before its too late

And the backflipping, spike-haired preachers preaching through their headset mics
Saying god is the new elvis and he's "gonna rock tonight"
So just sip on that new energy drink although it tastes like shit
Cuz a pretty t.v. couple says they cant live without it

Free to hate the ones you hate
Free to love the ones you love
Free to like the land you live on
Not the one who leads
All i'm sayin', dig the grave you lay in
After all, you make the call
Hang up before its too late
Free to hate the ones you hate
Free to love the ones you love
Free to like the land you live on
Not the one who leads
All i'm sayin', dig the grave you lay in
After all, you make the call
Hang up before its too late

Ooooooooh
