Lyrics

Freedom Cadence

Some say freedom is free, but I tend to disagree
I say freedom is won through the barrel of a gun
Had a brother in Iraq, he didn't come back
I ask why oh why do soldiers gotta die
Some say freedom is free, but I tend to disagree
I say freedom is won through the blood of someone's son

Some say freedom is free, but I tend to disagree
I say freedom is won through the barrel of a gun
Daddy died in Vietnam, he was killed at Khe Sahn
I ask why oh why do soldiers gotta die
Some say freedom is free, but I tend to disagree
I say freedom is won through the blood of someone's son

Some say freedom is free, but I tend to disagree
I say freedom is won through the barrel of a gun
Had a brother in Iraq, he didn't come back
I ask why oh why do soldiers gotta die

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm

Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
