Something of Freedom by Frank Turner
Intro: G
G D
Lord save me from those with my best interests at heart
G Cadd9
Lord save me from sleeves emblazoned with hearts
G D Em D
From fools who place horses in front of their carts
C D
Who care less for learning than teaching
Em D C
For they know not of what they are speaking
G D
Yeah, you're marching in matching Che Guevara T shirts
G Cadd9
You're so damn conceited, it's starting to hurt
G D Em D
You were born in to freedom so you don't know it's worth
C D
And you constantly speak of solutions
Em D C
But you only repeat revolution
G D
When you live with your parents, your ideals come cheap
G Cadd9
But what of the families with children to feed?
G D Em D
For the ones who've scored riches have more than they need
C D
While the rest of us think of survival
Em D C
Your money can pay for your morals
G D
G Cadd9
G D Em D
C D G
G D
You say that for omelettes, you're gonna need to break eggs
G Cadd9
But if you follow your logic, you're soon breaking heads
G D Em D
To patch your polemic, you tear us to shreds
C D
You'd steal all our voices for your thunder
Em D C
For your politics, nothing but plunder
G D
And we will not be judged or be put into place
G Cadd9
As no more than members of class are of race
G D Em D
We're free individuals and that's what you hate
C D
Our society is not a machine
Em D C
You can steer or shut down as you please
G D
And one day you'll struggle to make your ends meet
G Cadd9
And one day you'll struggle to stand on your feet
G D Em D
And you'll find something true that'll make your heart beat
C D
And you'll sacrfice something of meaning
Em D G
And you'll understand something of freedom
