"I SHALL BE FREE No. 709" - Bucky Spangler
Now I am just a regular guy
No more to me than meets the eye
I got a white guy’s house with a white guy’s yard
All my neighbors are white and we work real hard
I live in a gated community
I like it for the security
You come to the gate they give me a page
The guardhouse guy gets minimum wage
I can lock the windows, deadbolt the door
Set the alarm and enjoy my decor
It’s a place where I can feel really free
Where everyone is just like me
It's a nice mix of folks, some I adore
Some I don’t like, but nobody’s poor!
I’ve got an 85 inch flat screen TV
In every room of that house you see
I got 300 channels, it’s quite an array
I keep ‘em all tuned to Fox News all day
I confess that I love it, cuz it scares me to death
With its endless parade of zombie shibboleths
I love their indignity, love how they holler
It’s your best entertainment bang for the dollar
You want to tell me that that stuff isn’t true
But I know that it is so the joke is on you!
Now I’m Libertarian to a degree
I think everybody should be free
To get for themselves and be self-reliant
You think you don’t like it just wait till you try it!
You earn it you’ll keep it, isn’t that fair?
The fittest survive - nobody shares!
Look, nothing has ever been handed to me
We’ve all got the same opportunity
The only thing stopping you, holding you in
Is the color of your culture not the color of your skin!
Why, hard work, faith, dedication and luck
What more do you need to be making a buck?
We live in a new enlightened era for sure
Where nobody needs check their guns at the door
We got freedom so real you can just about taste it
If anything gets in your way you just waste it!
Now everybody's got the need for protection
You gotta protect yourself from the ones protectin’
Themselves from the ones that aren’t protectin' themselves at all
Wait a minute!
I think I see a dark shadow out the end of that hall
I’m comin’ out blastin’ hope I hit someone
Thank god I had the good sense to buy this gun!
So that’s my story – but I’ve had it all wrong
There ain’t no money in singing a song
I’m gonna run for office “Vote for me!”
I’ll tell ya how it’s gonna be
You wanna get food stamps? You gotta be tested
Pee in the cup or we’ll have you arrested
Don’t got your papers? You’ll soon be deported
Pregnant and scared? Well, it won’t be aborted!
I’m only doing the will of the master
Hear what I say or you flirt with disaster
Do what I say and someday you’ll be free
Of everything... except
People like me!
