Lyrics
LIBERTY OR DEATH
Give me Liberty or Death our Forefathers Cried
As their friends all around them bled and died
This war cry was a whisper by 1963
As the sound rang hollow in John F Kennedy
Give me Liberty or Death has become just another cheer
But it wasn't long ago when it could strike some fear
Now all this noise about treachery and conspiracy
Have me hearing voices crying where is our liberty
It was given away with cameras in the sky
Trying to find out who was getting high
It was taken out the back when Waco was attacked
It was shoved out the door when MLK hit the floor
Give me Liberty or Death the disenfranchised cry
As the police baton swings backing up another lie
Ask the Braves at Wounded Knee about Liberty
After 71 days in '73
Give me Liberty or Death I heard Mr. Weaver Say
As the Federal Agents came and they blasted away
Mrs. Weaver died for this pledge on the battlefield of Ruby Ridge
One more chance for us to get it right
Just another time we need to stand and fight
Give me Liberty or Death it still rings true
Only question is on which side are you?
