Freedom Doesn't Come For Free
Come all good people and gather 'round
Let me tell you how it all went down
When a bunch of libertarians came to town
To build their own utopia
They had a certain certainty
Doubt never bothered 'em, no siree
They lived on logic and liberty
In the green hills of New Hampshire
Live free or die trying
You might get eaten by a mountain lion
This old world is gonna leave you crying
So live free or try to live free
They took control of the situation
Banned all the rules and regulations
There would be no more taxation
In their vision of utopia
So, no one came to mend the roads
Streetlights faded and the library closed
And when the garbage overflowed
Bears came sniffin' 'round
Next thing folks started losing their cats
Nothing in the garden but a fresh bear scat
There's a certain logic in acting like that
When you're top of the food chain
Now there's a moral to this affair
If you leave everything to laissez-faire
You may have to wrassle with a bear
In the backstreets of utopia
'Cause freedom can look like something else
A place where everybody has to fend for themselves
Or pretty words trying to cover the smell
Of the stale stench of indifference
Living on logic sounds real good
But people never act the way you think that they should
Bears don't always shit in the woods
And freedom doesn't come for free
Doesn't come for free
Living on logic sounds real good
But people never act the way you think that they should
Bears don't always shit in the woods
And freedom doesn't come for free
