Symbols

(Album: Everlasting - 1994)

How come your symbols of freedom only restrict?
How come your symbols of pride to me ain't worth nothing?
How come your symbols of freedom only restrict?
How come your symbols of pride to me ain't worth nothing?

How come your symbols of freedom only restrict?
How come your symbols of pride to me ain't worth nothing?
How come your symbols of freedom only restrict?
How come your symbols of pride to me ain't worth nothing?

What better way to oppress us than to make us safe
To make us node in approval to the system we created
Our freedom, our bill of right, just assurance to make us abide
To make us serve their purposes and to serve our time

But I will destroy a system that's build on greed
I will destroy tradition that makes us bleed
I will shut down the power of all those who have lied to me
I will defy their image of what they want me to be

But I will destroy a system that's build on greed
I will destroy tradition that makes us bleed
I will shut down the power of all those who have lied to me
I will defy their image of what they expect me to be

How come your symbols of freedom only restrict?
How come your symbols of pride to me ain't worth nothing?
How come your symbols of freedom only restrict?
How come your symbols of pride to me ain't worth nothing?
