I'm not free, I'm a fraud
Blood, sweat, American, baby, I'm scared again
Somebody's chasing after me
With star-spangled anger, built up for danger and greed
But what does it mean to be free?
And what does it mean to be free?
And I'm not free, I'm an actor
I'm paid up in dollars, I matter my father
For something that he did to me
I'm proving my loyalty, lay down and suffer
For Uncle Sam, but he don't give a damn about me
No, he don't give a damn about me
Cause baby, I'm not free
Baby, I'm not free
And that's the American tease
Baby, I'm not free
Things aren't what they seem
I woke up from the dream
And now I can't sleep
And maybe I'm not free
But I used to be
I woke up from the dream
And now I can't sleep
And what does it mean to be free
What does it mean to be free
Cause baby, I'm not free
Baby, I'm not free
And that's the American tease
Baby, I'm not free
Baby, I'm not free
Baby, I'm not free
Baby, I'm not free
