Safer than a serpent till we got a load of
the company you re keeping around for us to take care of
We decorate the picket fence with mercy where I m from
and fools like you can t mess with mom and get away
I still pray the tv is lying

It won t take too long when you re short of time
to point out some good left about mankind
You can learn to love what you can destroy
That s what I call sacrificing what you ve got for freedom
Give up what you've got now

Captain do you copy? Right under the radar?
Valor, faith and treason Chivalry that you make sin
Guess business will be business we all know boys will be boys.
Some day I don t want to teach my children to ignore the noise

It won t take too long when you re short of time
to point out some good left about mankind
You can learn to love what you can destroy

Can t we find a shred of hope to dress this fear up
Will we let the banner of humanity fall?
That s not what I call sacrificing what you ve got for freedom
Give up what you ve got for freedom
Give it up

That s not what I call sacrificing what you ve got
That s not what I call sacrificing what you ve got
That s not what I call sacrificing what you ve got
That s not what I call sacrificing what you ve got for freedom

Give up what you ve got for freedom
Give up what you ve got for freedom
