The system's got too much control, and they don't wanna let it go 
I'm a prisoner fighting to be free, I'm breaking out of captivity 

Be free, be free 
to be free 

Little by little, I'm losing control 
as little by little my rights erode 
I stop the deputy, now you know 
mama don't try, you see I got to go 

(Chorus) 

The government's got too much control, 
now is there some place that we can roll 
the politics of fear and oppression is everywhere now 
the law is closing in, just take what you can bring 

(Chorus) 

The system's got too much control, 
now is there some place that we can roll 
I'm a prisoner fighting to be free, the law is closing in 
just take what we can bring
