Free

Lyrics

The more I make, the more I make it up
And tell myself that one more raise will surely be enough
So I keep my hand upon the shaft
that spins this planet Earth
And let the ghost in the machine tell me what I’m worth

Don’t analyze
Don’t try to fight this poltergeist
We’re all inclined to be
Free

Just one more turn, and then we take a rest
before we learn it’s just a little temporary jest
But we’re all afraid to walk away from our ambition
It makes us feel so in control to yield to indecision

Don’t analyze
Don’t try to fight this irony
But you just might try to be
Free

At least once, we’ve all run across a cog
who broke the rules
and left the fools bathing in the bog
And yes we too have mapped a route
to leave this institution
Let’s leave the Earth to spin on its own
so we can start a new revolution

Don’t analyze
Don’t surrender to practicality
No one can stop us from being
Free
