	Story Behind the Song The song came about during the so-called 2000 election in the US. All the candidates did their best to "out-God" each other in a cynical attempt to court the religious vote. I was sickend by the blatant hypocrisy, the God and country jingoism and of course later the stealing of the election. Lyrics Cry Freedom From the bottom of the heap Shouts an angry voice that says “No, I will not remain asleep” I have seen it with my eyes Seen that all religion lives by a steady trade in lies They try to hold us back with reins of holy smoke But I am here to say we will not bear the yoke Once the fact is clearly seen There is no turning back for fairytales or bloody dreams If we dare not speak our minds The Inquisition has a test for each of us in time Do you trust a creed that claims to set you free By spending half a lifetime begging on your knees? Cry freedom! We have nothing but this day... Cry Freedom We have nothing but our chains – to lose! In a single cup of earth Sings the mystery of the all expanding universe Trust that brain behind your eyes To carve a space for us within the universal mind And if it’s up to us to bring some balance back Let it not be said it’s courage that we lack Cry freedom! We have nothing but this day.. Cry Freedom We have nothing but our chains – to lose!
