Lyrics

War on Freedom

[Verse 1]

Ban heritage seeds and seed banks

Vagrancy is a criminal offence

Firing tear gas on reporters

Cyber tracking cyberspace

Compulsory vaccinations

Guilty till proved innocent

DNA database expansion

Maintained without consent

[Chorus]

War on freedom

War on freedom

War on freedom

War on freedom

[Verse 2]

Iris scanners biometrics

Facial recognition software

RFID chip surveillance

From the cradle to the grave

[Chorus]

War on freedom

War on freedom

War on freedom

War on freedom

[Verse 3]

No more peaceful demonstrations

Militarise the police force

Illegal trade agreements

Conducted behind closed doors

Bilderberg and private forums

Media monopolies, shaping conventional wisdom

Bye bye sweet liberty

[Chorus]

War on freedom

War on freedom

War on freedom

War on freedom
