Ring, Ring the Liberty Bell
such a wonderful sound
even though the bell is cracked
you can’t put my Liberty down
Years ago in Kent, Ohio
the cops tried to shoot us down
but tears of rage fueled the nation's
front page, and
ain't nobody gonna turn us around
We're gonna fight, and die for our rights, if that's what we've got to do
Realize that Uncle Sam don't give a damn,
how many Presidents would die for you?
Ring, Ring the Liberty Bell
such a wonderful sound
even though the bell is cracked
you can’t put my Liberty down
Now the Tyrants that run this land,
they want to make war for oil
they want our boys to kill people
for what's under the soil
but we're gonna reject their bullshit war
and we'll stand up today
there are still things worth fighting for,
but war for oil just ain't the way!
Ring, Ring the Liberty Bell
such a wonderful sound
even though the bell is cracked
you can’t put my Liberty down
Now the FCC opposes Freedom of Speech
and they hide it in a shroud of “decency”
But restricting another man’s Freedom of Speech
doesn’t seem very decent to me
Ring, Ring the Liberty Bell
such a wonderful sound
even though the bell is cracked
you can’t put my Liberty down
Ring, Ring the Liberty Bell
such a wonderful sound
even though the bell is cracked
you can’t put my Liberty down
Long ago, when I was a boy, before I was a man
people tried to tell me what to think, but now I think I understand
Each person has to find in themselves a more righteous way
ain't nobody can control your mind,
and there ain't nuthin' more I got to say, except
Ring, Ring the Liberty Bell
such a wonderful sound
even though the bell is cracked
you can’t put my Liberty down
Ring, Ring the Liberty Bell
such a wonderful sound
even though the bell is cracked
you can’t put my Liberty down
