Take away the little freedom we have left
Cards dealt I'll place my bet
I'll tell the story of where I've been
Nothing is better than a hand to lend
When we're lost in a desperate land
Get away from the fallen American way
Let all the children pave the way
Fall away, everything that's not for you
This desire is nothing new
The gold is for fools, leave it too
It's not enough to pay our dues
Where we're going, we won't get the blues
Get away from the fallen American way
Let all the children pave the way
