Lyrics

VERSE 1
Hey there Mister Man
How ‘bout that big mistake you made?
We were born from revolution
That kind of birthmark never fades

PRE-CHORUS
The tea was too taxed up
The bullets and the grit
Our generation’s next up
Fear the armies in our fists

It’s up to you and me
Our nation’s standing plea
From sea to shining sea
This Freedom isn’t…
This Freedom isn’t free

VERSE 2
Hands that tilled the land
Grew strength from brutal chores
Turning battles into ballots
More freedom than before

VERSE 3
Hey there Mister Man
Bet you think that you’re The GOAT
Well Tuesday’s getting closer
Watch me ghost you with my vote

PRE-CHORUS
The tea was too taxed up
The bullets and the grit
Our generation’s next up
Fear the armies in our fists

CHORUS
It’s up to you and me
Our nation’s standing plea
From sea to shining sea
This Freedom isn’t…
This Freedom isn’t free

BRIDGE
Two hundred fifty years
On loan from principles and will
Credit the blood, sweat, and tears
It’s our turn to pay the bill…

CHORUS
The tea was too taxed up
Our generation’s jacked up!
It’s up to you and me
Our nation of the free
From sea to shining sea
Our forefathers’ legacy
For our brave Democracy
This Freedom isn’t…
This Freedom isn’t free
This Freedom isn’t free
This Freedom isn’t free
This Freedom isn’t free

OUTRO
Two Hundred Fifty years
Two Hundred Fifty more…
