Lyrics

Freedom of Choice

[Verse 1] A victim of collision on the open sea Nobody ever said that life was free Sink, swim, go down with the ship But use your freedom of choice I'll say it again, in the land of the free Use your freedom of choice Your freedom of choice [Chorus] In ancient Rome, there was a poem About a dog who found two bones He picked at one, he licked the other He went in circles, he dropped dead Freedom of choice Is what you got Freedom of choice [Guitar solo] [Verse 2] Then if you got it, you don't want it Seems to be the rule of thumb Don't be tricked by what you see You got two ways to go I'll say it again, in the land of the free Use your freedom of choice Freedom of choice [Keyboard solo] [Chorus] Freedom of choice Is what you got Freedom of choice In ancient Rome, there was a poem About a dog who found two bones He picked at one, he licked the other He went in circles, he dropped dead [Outro] Freedom of choice Is what you got Freedom from choice Is what you want Freedom of choice Is what you got Freedom from choice Is what you want Freedom of choice Is what you got Freedom from choice Is what you want Freedom of choice Is what you got Freedom from choice
