lyrics

what’s easy for you
may not be for me
it’s a tough time to think if you won’t concede
that armed with clichés
and saccharine bluffs
the greedy believe you can’t steal too much

thought crimes happen sometimes
don’t show it in your face
they won’t hesitate
thought crimes imprison your mind
if you've made yours up
well then it’s going to get rough for you
who knows what they’re going to do
thought crimes or freedom
you choose

do you solely own
those notions in your head
are you able to speak without fear or dread
wondering if the feelers of the leaders
of the free world
are listening for deviants and sharpening swords

thought crimes happen sometimes
don’t show it in your face
they won’t hesitate
thought crimes imprison your mind
if you've made yours up
well then it’s going to get rough for you
who knows what they’re going to do
thought crimes or freedom
you choose

these things which we keep secret
are the jewels we must scatter
underneath the feet of fools forever facing back
toward their blood line of privilege
these inbred braggarts
swagger as they choke our world to death

thought crimes happen sometimes
don’t show it in your face
they won’t hesitate
thought crimes imprison your mind
if you've made yours up
well then it’s going to get rough for you
who knows what they’re going to do
thought crimes or freedom
you choose

thought crimes or freedom
you choose
